The scholarship’s purpose is to provide financial assistance to full-time students enrolled in the Milling Science and Management curriculum at KSU. The scholarship allows non-Kansas students to attend the university at in-state tuition costs.

“I was fortunate to have Mennel offer me the opportunity to work with them in the mill several times a week through my senior year of high school,” says Mr Brennan. “I have truly been blessed receiving this scholarship. This generous donation has driven me to pursue this career with a tremendous amount of weight off my shoulders, which helps me to focus more on school.”

Mr Brennan says that through the generosity of Mennel Milling Company and the friendly staff that stands behind it, he has chosen his first summer internship working with Mennel for the summer of 2018.

The scholarship was established in 2010. Funds provided are to cover $10,000 of out of state tuition, and an extra $1,000 for travel costs.

The scholarship is awarded to one student from: Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana or Virginia. Each student who receives the award is eligible for its renewal the following year.

“Scholarships, particularly of the scale pledged by Mennel Milling, are an important component of our recruitment and retention efforts,” says Jon Faubion, KSU professor of bakery science and chair of the grain science scholarship committee.

“Mennel, and in particular Ford Mennel, have the gratitude of our faculty and our students for their forward thinking generosity.”
