The School Nutrition Foundation’s Conference Scholarships program supports members attending the School Nutrition Association’s 2027 Legislative Action Conference (LAC). This opportunity is for returning attendees and provides support for conference registration and travel expenses, rather than research or project work. SNF is the charitable arm of SNA and provides professional development scholarships to SNA members.
The broader program will award twenty LAC scholarships. SNA will sponsor ten scholarships, including five for returning attendees, while J.T.M. Food Group will sponsor four, including two for returning attendees. Both sponsors support the same expense categories: registration, airfare, hotels, and meals.
