Opaa! is proud of serving the nutritional needs of Missouri students since 1978.
In memory of Kenneth L. Short, founder of Opaa! Food Management, a one-year scholarship
in the amount of $1000 will be awarded to a 2007-08 graduating high school senior from
a school district currently served by Opaa!
Eligible students must enroll in an accredited college or university and demonstrate an interest in pursuing a career in the food service/hospitality industry. Selection criteria include academic achievement; work experiences; and participation in student, school, and community activities.

The scholarship is for the first year of college only and is payable in the amount of $500 each semester-end
directly to the college in the recipient's name. The recipient of the scholarship must maintain full-time
student status (enrollment in at least 12 hours per semester or term) and present a copy of that semester's
grade report to Opaa! Food Management demonstrating a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average for all classes
