MILLEN, GA - It’s that time again! Time to applaud the deserving students who have been spotlighted as one of the Southeast Produce Council’s (SEPC) Member Scholarship recipients. The organization presented 38 scholarships in 2024, investing a total of $57,000 thanks to the dedication of its members.

As a press release stated, the scholarships are awarded to applicants who meet the application criteria of having a parent or grandparent who is a corporate member in good standing with the SEPC and has personally attended at least one SEPC event within the last 12 months. All applicants must be enrolled as a full-time student with a minimum of 12 semester hours. SEPC Member Scholarship recipients receive one $1,500 scholarship annually.

Applicants are chosen based on their essay submissions, which are reviewed by members of the organization’s Scholarship Committee. This year’s essay prompt was a continuation of “The Unseen Heroes” theme, which spotlights the men and women who serve our industry by plowing fields, harvesting crops, sorting produce, loading trucks, stocking shelves, and prepping meals.
