Poultry Scholarship and Research Foundation
Scholarship Sponsored by Pacific Egg & Poultry Association
In the previous year, the Western Poultry Scholarship and Research Foundation bestowed 15 scholarships upon deserving students. Since its inception in 1965, PEPA has been instrumental in supporting exceptional college students in their pursuit of academic excellence.

Students who graduate in the middle of the term are entitled to receive half of the total scholarship amount.
