The Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association is pleased to announce the 2018 class of Thomas R. and Laura Ridge Scholarship recipients. An independent judging panel selected the recipients from the applicants this year. The students are judged on their academic success, extra-curricular activities, community service and overall character.

All PFMA, Pittsburgh Association of Manufacturers Representatives and Northwestern Pennsylvania Food Council members, their children and their employees are eligible to apply for the scholarships, which are named to honor former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge’s parents, who were strong supporters of education.

Congratulations to the 2018 Class of Ridge Scholars.
