The Chapter Program Award of Phi Tau Sigma, sponsored by Dr. Suzanne Nielsen, is intended as an award to help a Chapter organize, sponsor, and hold a special program during the upcoming year. The program proposed must be consistent with the mission and purposes of Phi Tau Sigma, increase the visibility of the organization, and benefit students in the field of Food Science and Technology.

This award is intended to help a Chapter do something more impactful than it could manage with its own funds. Preference will be given to Phi Tau Sigma Chapters that:

Have not won this award for at least one year
Work cooperatively with other relevant organizations, both inside and outside the department (e.g., Food Science Club, Food Science Graduate Student Association, other scientific societies, nonprofits, etc.), to organize and implement the planned program/event. The application requires endorsement of the proposed plans by a Faculty Advisor/Department Head associated with the Phi Tau Sigma Chapter.

Up to two awards, of $500 each, will be made yearly to two selected Chapters.

Help us build the future of Food Science & Technology
