The D. Glynn Davies/Juice Products Association Scholarship Foundation was established in 1993 at the request of Mrs. Billie Davies in honor of her husband, the late D. Glynn Davies. Mr. Davies was a pioneer in the juice industry with broad experience in citrus sales and marketing both nationally and internationally.

The Foundation currently awards scholarships at the following Universities to a junior student (for use in the senior year) who demonstrates a keen interest in the fruit juice industry and related participants in that industry.

University of Florida (2)
California State University - Fresno (2)
California State Polytechnic University - Pomona (2)
Florida Southern College (2)
Cornell University, Department of Food Science
Michigan State University, School of Packaging
Oregon State University

Each scholarship is in the amount of $1,250 for the year, except for one of the Florida Southern College scholarships, which is $2,500. Industry members have a strong desire to assist recipients of this Scholarship in gaining employment in the industry upon graduation.
