The Program

Allstate and Tram Norris have established a scholarship program to assist Flowers Foods independent distributor’s children who plan to pursue post-secondary education in college and vocational programs. Scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at any accredited post-secondary institution of the student’s choice.

This scholarship program is managed by Citizens’ Scholarship Foundation of America, Inc. (CSFA), a national nonprofit educational support and student aid service organization. CSF A seeks to involve and assist the private sector in expanding educational opportunities and encouraging educational achievement. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, sex, disability, or national origin.
