We support education … by empowering hundreds of students to further their education. Ruiz 4 Kids distributes thousands and thousands of dollars to qualifying high school seniors every year.
We understand the
importance of education in improving the quality of life for local children and growing our future leaders. Ruiz 4 Kids scholarships transform the dream of attending
college into reality for dozens of students within the communities where Ruiz Foods has a presence.
Funds raised by the Ruiz Foods Invitational have allowed Ruiz 4 Kids to distribute over $600,000
in scholarships. In 2007, we awarded $131,750 to a total of 154 students.
Along with the Ruiz 4 Kids Scholarship Awards, we are proud to announce the addition of the Louis F. Ruiz Memorial Scholarship.
Ruiz 4 Kids Scholarship
These scholarships are available to high school seniors in the areas where Ruiz Foods has a presence. Selection for these scholarship awards are based on GPA and academic excellence. Ethnicity and/or citizenship is not a consideration. Applicants must have a 2.5 GPA or above.
Louis F. Ruiz Memorial Scholarship for Food Science
Ruiz 4 Kids is extremely honored and proud to announce the Louis F. Ruiz Memorial Scholarship. Starting in 2008, this annual award honors the co-founder and chairman emeritus of Ruiz Foods, Louis F. Ruiz—an entrepreneur who believed in integrity, honesty, and respect. We are seeking an outstanding high school senior who best exemplifies these characteristics to receive this annual, one-time, $5,000 scholarship. The recipient is also eligible for a paid internship within Ruiz Foods.
