Financial Aid 
Cornell
University recognizes that
an outstanding learning
environment can best be
achieved by attracting a
diverse student body. For
that reason, the university
has developed financial
aid policies that help every
outstanding student afford
a Cornell education.
First,
Cornell follows a needs-blind
admissions policy. In other
words, the university will
evaluate your application
without considering whether
you will apply for financial
aid. And second, all financial
aid at Cornell is based
on a family's demonstrated
need.
For
details on Cornell's financial
aid options, visit Undergraduate
Admissions.
Scholarships, Awards, & Prizes 
Several
generous companies, associations,
alumni, and friends fund
scholarships, awards, and
prizes specifically to help
food industry management
students finance their education.
Scholarships are available
to students who have received
a financial aid package
from Cornell University.
Awards and prizes may be
given to any student, regardless
of financial need.
Scholarships,
awards, and prizes are awarded
based on faculty nominations
rather than a student application
process. Dollar amounts
vary.

industry management scholarships
