​Since 1963, The Bakers National Educational Foundation has consistently supported students seeking to enroll in a bakery college program to advance their careers in baking. With the assistance of today's top baking industry companies, BNEF contributes financial support, recruitment assistance, and scholarships to the Bakery Science & Management program at Kansas State University located in Manhattan, Kansas.  As the only baking school in the U.S. offering BS and graduate baking degree programs devoted to the chemistry of baking and the business management of bakeries, K‐State has become the primary training ground for the industry's future leaders. The Kansas State University (K-State) bakery program was established in 1963 for this purpose. K-State graduates in bakery science can be found at every level of the profession, from production management and product development to quality control and business management.

K-State offers abundant scholarships. And as the top baking science school in the country, graduates can benefit from K-State's record of providing 100 % job placement with high starting salaries and paid internship programs.
