The Southeastern Meat Association (SEMA) annually sets aside funds to provide scholarships to students who have made a commitment to pursue a career in the meat industry. Through this program, SEMA seeks to help promising students offset some of the costs of a higher education and to encourage quality people to enter and be successful in the meat business.
SEMA Scholarships are available to students enrolled on a full time basis in programs leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in meat science, food science, animal science, or a related field. Students must be enrolled at a University in the Southeastern United States where Association members are located. These states are: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi.
Children of SEMA members (including children of employees of member companies) are eligible for these scholarships. These students must be seeking either a B.S. degree in meat science, food science, animal science, or a related field or be seeking a four year business degree at any accredited four year college or university. In order for the child of a member who is seeking a business degree to be eligible, the chief executive or owner of the Association member company must certify that to the best of their knowledge, the applicant seeking a business degree intends to seek a career in the meat industry.
Candidates for the scholarships must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 at the time of application. Eligible students must be entering their junior or senior year of study.
Previous scholarship recipients may re-apply for future grants but will be considered on an equal basis with other applicants. There are no automatic scholarship renewals. Each student must apply each year.
Age, gender, race, religion, national origin or financial needs are not conditions of eligibility for the award.
The scholarship amount currently approved by the SEMA Board of Directors is two thousand dollars ($2,000) each.
Scholarship recipients will also be invited to attend the Association Annual Meeting on an expense paid basis (See attached policy). At this meeting, the scholarship award recipients will be recognized before the entire membership of the Association as the scholarship winners. During organized educational and informal social sessions award recipients will have the opportunity to meet business owners and executives in the meat industry. Additionally, recipients will be given free access to tour the exhibit hall where vendors meet with members to discuss equipment, supplies and other offerings to support the businesses of the processing members of the Association. Students who attend this meeting are encouraged to actively participate in the meeting schedule.
The SEMA Board of Directors has approved funding for up to two (2) scholarships for 2024.
Each Applicant must complete and submit the following;
The SEMA Scholarship is intended to be used primarily for the payment of scholastic expenses such as academic tuition and fees. Secondarily the funds may be used for books and/or other learning materials. Consequently, when possible, payment will be made directly to the Financial Aid Office of the recipients’ university. SEMA will ask the Financial Aid Officer to verify registration of the Scholarship recipient. If it is not possible to make the payment to the Financial Aid Office, SEMA may elect to pay the Scholarship directly to the scholarship recipient. Upon receiving the payment, SEMA will ask the recipient to provide invoices showing funds are used for tuition, books, etc.
In the event a scholarship recipient withdraws from school or transfers to another major during the term of the Scholarship, any unused balance of the award must be returned to the SEMA Scholarship fund.
The Southeastern Meat Association is pleased to provide these scholarships as part of our commitment to the future or our industry.

SEMA CYBER-SECURITY WEBINAR
OCTOBER 19, 2021
Cyber-Security: Protecting Yourself and Your Company from Cyber Security Threats Both Large and Small
How important are your passwords? What about that access card? Should we give National Security Monitoring Corp, Inc. direct access to our network? How does what we do affect our supply chain and customers? How can an innocent Facebook post violate government regulations?
We will cover the basics of technology and personal security hygiene, including how to better identify threats both technological and social, how to better protect yourself and your assets, and how to react once a threat has been encountered. Topics will run from simple daily practices of end-users, to more advanced aspects of technical and network administration, up to how management and policy makers can laterally integrate safety and security into daily operations. We will discuss who wants your stuff and why, what they will go through to get it, and how you can be prepared to deny them their bounty.
Date: October 19, 2021
Time: 11:30 am –1:00 pm
Format: Zoom Meeting
