Eastern Produce Council's Nolan Family Foundation Scholarship Awarded To Christine Knospe

The 3rd Annual Nolan Family Foundation Scholarship was awarded on Tuesday, May 24th at the EPC’s New Jersey Department of Agriculture Annual BBQ at Demarest Farm. Theresa Nolan was in attendance to present this year's $5,000 scholarship to Christine Knospe, wife of Scott Knospe of Wakefern Food Corp. Christine is currently enrolled at Montclair State University, pursuing a degree in Speech Communications. The Knospe family, including their two daughters Izzy and Collette, were at the BBQ to receive the scholarship.

What makes this scholarship unique is that it is based solely on a 500-word essay on ethics. In particular, applicants need to site an example of how they faced an ethical challenge in their life, and dealt with it. Anonymous essays are judged by representatives of the Nolan Foundation, not the Eastern Produce Council. Congratulations Christine!
