In June 1983, the CDA Distributors Education Foundation (DEF) Ray Foley Memorial Scholarship was created in memory of the late National Candy Wholesalers Association executive vice president, Ray Foley. The DEF awards four $5,000 scholarships annually to applicants from distributor member companies in honor of Mr. Foley.
Ray Foley Memorial Scholarship applicants must either work for a CDA distributor member company or be the spouse or child of a CDA distributor member. CDA uses an anonymous judging process to select scholarship recipients.
All applicants must be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate or graduate program in an accredited college or university. The scholarship winners are chosen based on academic achievements, volunteer activities, recommendation letters and a personal essay.
Applications will be accepted through May 1, 2024, and winners will be notified by the end of July. If you have questions, contact Angie Simonetti (AngieS@cdaweb.net), CDA’s executive vice president.
