The Joyce Farms Poultry Science Scholarship was established in 2007 to support students pursuing careers in agricultural science at NC State University. Each year, students from the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences submit applications and essays for consideration. One outstanding applicant is selected to receive $1,000 from Joyce Farms to help fund his or her education.
It’s a difficult task to choose just one from our many qualified candidates. We consider academic standing, past achievements, and demonstrated passion, skill, and determination.
This year, we are pleased to announce Ray Borzotra as the 2016-17 recipient of the Joyce Farms Poultry Science Scholarship!
Congratulations and best of luck to Ray and all of our impressive applicants!

Did you know that a staggering 40% of the US food supply is wasted each year? This statistic is not just a reflection of discarded leftovers; it represents a massive inefficiency in our food system. When you consider the significant resources—10% of the nation’s total energy budget, 50% of its land, and 80% of freshwater consumption—that go into American food production, it's clear that we have a big problem on our hands. Fortunately, there are inspiring figures in the culinary world who are actively combating food waste, and one such champion is our long-time friend and customer, Steven Satterfield, the talented chef and owner of Miller Union in Atlanta.
