BSA – Food Science, \u201925<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food Scientist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While I am not the first to attend college in my family, I will be the first to be attending to pursue my dreams and interests. My love of the sciences and specific chemistry was perfectly balanced with my passion for food through my major in Food Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through this support, I hope I can spend more time helping others and spending time outdoors. I am so thankful for being chosen and can not wait to pursue my education through UGA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve food quality and availability<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the reasons I chose UGA is because it is one of the only universities in Georgia with the major I want to pursue. I will be majoring in Food Science. I have many college and professional goals I plan to achieve. I hope to be able to improve the quality as well as the availability of food to a great population of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am immensely grateful to have the opportunity to attend college. With this opportunity, come the expenses of college. The gravity of this expense can be a scary thing to handle. This scholarship would alleviate some financial burden from my family and I am extremely honored to receive this award. Thank You!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food Animal Veterinarian <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even in a pandemic, I was welcomed to a community and family in CAES that has gone above and beyond to support me. I have been blessed with amazing professors in my CAES classes and have fallen in love with organizations like Block and Bridle and Young Farmers and Ranchers within the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am so passionate about spreading agricultural literacy and improving animal welfare, so I can’t wait to be supporting the producers that feed the world. Thank you again for believing in my dream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When planning on attending UGA, there was no other college that I wanted to be a part of but CAES. I chose the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences to find a mentor that I could be involved in and contribute to their research endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I chose to attend the University of Georgia, it was my dream school, but I did not believe it was an option. The reason I thought UGA was not an option was due to my family’s financial obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feed Sales<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I plan to become a feed sales representative. I have always enjoyed traveling to new places and with this type of occupation I will be able to travel a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This scholarship has impacted not only my life as a CAES student, but my life as a whole by helping take off some of the burden of cost as many fellow students worry about. Also, I would like to add that transferring from a small school in Fort Scott, Kansas can be intimidating and receiving this scholarship has truly made me feel welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This scholarship allows me to further my education and prepare myself for the future that lies ahead at the University of Georgia and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to represent the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, and for entrusting me with this chance to further my education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zookeeper<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CAES have shown me how to work with different animals and how some animals work internally which allows me to understand them better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My favorite part of being a CAES student is getting to do things with the animals, especially the dairy cows. I was surprised by how cuddly and nice they were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This scholarship means a lot to me. It not only recognizes the research and accomplished but also encourages and motivates to continue the efforts in this field. I would like to thank donors for introducing this scholarship and grateful being the recipient of this award this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
