The Wisconsin Dairy Products Assn. (WDPA) is proud to announce the establishment of the Robert L. Bradley Scholarship. This new scholarship is being named after Dr. Bob Bradley, a long-time professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a major supporter of WDPA. Dr. Bradley has been very active for over 20 years in WDPA’s annual Dairy Product Grading and Evaluation Clinic and has been the assistant head judge for WDPA’s World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest for the past 6 years.
The Robert L. Bradley Scholarship will be an annual award valued at $2,000, with each year’s funding coming from the net proceeds of the World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest auction. The scholarship will be awarded each year to a deserving college student pursuing a career in the dairy industry. The application deadline is May 1, 2009.
The scholarship is available to a dependent of any employee that works for a company that belongs to the Wisconsin Dairy Products Assn. This pertains to both processor members, as well as supplier/associate members.

o Graduating high school seniors and college freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are eligible for this scholarship. No grad students are eligible.
o The student must be attending the UW-Madison or planning to attend (if presently a high school senior).
o The student must be in the Food Science program, Dairy Science program, or a dairy industry related program (should explain in essay how their field of interest will benefit the dairy industry) in order to apply.
o The student must be in good academic standing.
o The award can be used for any college educational expenses, including tuition, books, room and board, etc.

$2000 would come in very handy.
But Im wondering, how do they evaluate if a student is going to pursue a job in the dairy industry?
