Night of Rising Stars:
Scholarship Celebration
Recognizing Excellence. Empowering Tomorrow.
Supporting the next generation of leaders.
Join us for an inspiring evening as we celebrate outstanding student achievement. This special event brings together students, families, educators, and community partners to honor scholarship recipients and the next generation of industry leaders.
"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."
