Supporting the Future -Taylor Farms Scholarship Program Tops $3 Million

Taylor Farms Scholarship at the CFMC

For the past decade, Taylor Farms has been awarding college scholarships to outstanding children of employees looking to further their education.

In June 2023, we held the Taylor Farms Scholarship Fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC) luncheon and awarded 38 students college scholarships. Along with the new scholarship recipients, Taylor Farms also awards students renewed scholarships. These recipients are all children of active, full-time Taylor Farms employees.

$3.1 Million Awarded in New and Renewed Scholarships Since 2008

Taylor Farms partners with the Community Foundation for Monterey County to facilitate the application process and award distribution. The scholarships are tailored to support students throughout their entire academic career, where recipients receive an upfront check for $5,000 and a guaranteed renewal opportunity of $5,000 for each year they remain in an undergraduate or graduate program.

“Taylor Farms is honored to be able to continue supporting our team members and their families through our scholarship program,” said Bruce Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Taylor Farms. “We are committed to a vibrant America with education as the foundation for opportunity.”

The Taylor Farms Scholarship Program was formally developed in 2012, although we have been awarding scholarships to students since 2008. The scholarship member selection committee consists of 12 Taylor Farms employees, and to date has awarded over $3.1 million in scholarships.
