Officially in its 75th year, global, family-owned food company Rich Products has announced the creation of a dynamic new scholarship for local students who dream of attending The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, NY. The Dr. Shirley Brown – Rich Products scholarship will send three students from Emerson School of Hospitality (PS 302), a vocational high school focused on the culinary arts, to the CIA—the world’s premier culinary college—to pursue an associate degree in culinary or baking and pastry arts.
“This is an opportunity to steward the next generation of culinary leaders and make a real impact on the future of our industry,” said Ted Rich, executive vice president, Organizational Excellence, Rich Products. “As a purpose-driven company, we’re continuously looking for ways we can have a positive impact on our industry, customers, associates and communities. This scholarship pays tribute to one of our beloved culinary associates who embodies both culinary innovation and the purpose of our organization. This initiative is one small way we’re able to pay her passion forward to shape the future of culinary arts.”
