The Tennessee Grocers Education Foundation was established in 1982 for the purpose of providing scholarships and promoting education through the food industry in Tennessee. Tennessee Grocers Education Foundation began with the scholarship program with four $1,000 awards. In the ensuing 26 years, TGEF has presented over 2,200 scholarships worth over $2,300,000 to deserving student employees and children of employees in the food industry. At the 2006 annual convention, TGEF awarded two additional $1,000 awards, designated as the "Rising on to Three Million Dollars" in awards given.

The purpose of the foundation is to support the education of student employees or children of employees in the food industry in Tennessee. It helps deserving students with college expenses, relieves parents of college expenses and benefits the colleges winners attend by their receiving of the scholarship funds.

The Tennessee grocery industry has had strong interest in supporting education by granting scholarships to students to help with tuition and other college expenses. TGCSA members and member's children who are graduating high school seniors, college students or graduate students are eligible for scholarships through the education foundation each year.

To ensure someone from your company receives a scholarship you can "Create Your Own." Please contact Jennifer Kemp at the TGCSA for more information.
