The Food Technology Scholarship Endowment was established in 1992 by friends and supporters of the Food Technology Program.

In 1927, Food Technology (now known as Food Science) began as a major field of study led by two well-known individuals at the time- Kenneth Renner and J.J. Willingham. This scholarship was established because of the decreasing numbers in the program. It was created to encourage involvement and increase enrollment. Today, the Food Science program is an important part of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Food science provides the basic coursework for a comprehensive background in the processing and preservation of foods. Food science graduates may be employed in areas concerned with food systems management, design and development of new food products, strategies for quality control/assurance and food safety, or research in basic constituents of food. The increasing pressure of world population growth on available food supply assures a stable, growing job market for food science students. Positions in private industry, educational institutions, and governmental agencies offer excellent potential for rapid advancement.
