The Meat Industry Suppliers Alliance Foundation Announces Scholarship Recipients

Contact: Randy Taussig; rtaussig@fpsa.org; 703-663-1213

 

McLean, VA – The Meat Industry Suppliers Alliance (MISA) is proud to announce the winners of the MISA Foundation Meat Science Scholarship and the MISA/Siemens Scholarship. Lane Stoll of the University of Saskatchewan, Maria Tenorio-Bernal of Michigan State University, and Daniela Bautista of North Carolina State University have each been awarded the $5,000 MISA Foundation Scholarship, and Clint Stevenson of North Carolina State University has been awarded the $10,000 MISA/Siemens Scholarship. These scholarships will be used towards completing the winners’ respective degrees within the meat sciences discipline. 
 
 “We had a real strong group of students competing for the scholarship awards this year,” said Craig Hess, Chairman of the MISA Foundation and President of Speco, Incorporated. “The interest from the student population continues to grow and this is a great sign for the future of the industry,” he continued.
 
It is the goal of the MISA Foundation to annually fund scholarships through interest monies which are drawn from a principal fund of donations. Through donations from individuals, companies and organizations, the Foundation provides grants to students studying meat or food science fields. The ultimate purpose is to assist the meat and related food industries by identifying and developing students with the intellect and technical skills that can advance and enhance the total industry.
