The Nucci Scholarship for Culinary Innovation posthumously honors industry leader Joe Nucci and his significant contributions to the produce and foodservice industries. The scholarship program that bears his name connects produce and foodservice professionals to future culinary innovators. Through this all-expense-paid program, selected culinary students and faculty attend PMA's annual Foodservice Conference & Expo in Monterey, CA.
This scholarship opportunity affords 10 students and four faculty members from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and Johnson & Wales University a one-of-a-kind experience. Students receive one-on-one mentoring with leaders from our industry, as well as customized education including an industry overview and a panel discussion on career opportunities for culinary professionals. Students also tour local produce facilities and fields. The highlight of the program includes personal cooking experiences with notable chefs for the Conference's annual Chef Demonstrations. Six students participate in the actual live demos.
This valuable program is partially funded through the PMA Foundation for Industry Talent Golf Tournament on the first day of the Conference. View available tournament sponsorships here.
