ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL [11 July 2018]—Edlong has awarded Feeding Tomorrow scholarships to Chelsey Hinnenkamp and Casey Rush.

The scholarships are awarded through IFT, the Institute of Food Technologists.
“There is no doubt that Chelsey and Casey will go on to make major contributions to the food industry given their commitment and drive,” said Edlong President and CEO Laurette Rondenet. “Edlong is honored to support them in their studies.”
