"The scholarship I received this spring from Heron Point Seafood took a lot of financial burdens off of my plate. Especially when attending a culinary school, there are many different tools, uniforms, and equipment needed to properly succeed. The Heron Point Scholarship provided peace of mind knowing that I would not have to take out any loans for my first semester while still having all of the necessary items on hand."
