The School Nutrition Foundation (SNF) Conference Scholarships help eligible School Nutrition Association (SNA) members attend SNA’s 2027 School Nutrition Industry Conference (SNIC). This scholarship is specifically for first-time SNIC attendees and supports conference registration, airfare, hotels, and meals rather than research or project expenses.
Eleven first-time-attendee scholarships are sponsored by SNA and Super Bakery’s 22 Seconds Society in Memory of Franco Harris. The opportunity serves current School/Site Nutrition Staff and Director/Supervisor-level SNA members. SNF is SNA’s charitable arm, supporting school nutrition research, sharing best practices, and providing professional development scholarships to SNA members.
