The Missouri Restaurant Association awards scholarships each year to students connected to the state's restaurant and hospitality industry, including graduating high school seniors (the application form explicitly lists 'High School' as a current-enrollment option alongside community college, college/university, and grad school). Applicants describe their foodservice work experience and interests, academic record, and future career goals, and must complete an in-person or online interview to be considered. Award amounts vary from year to year; the program has distributed more than $1 million in scholarships since it began.
