Each year, ASEV awards numerous scholarships to students pursuing a degree in enology or viticulture, or in a curriculum emphasizing a science basic to the wine and grape industry. This year, ASEV has added a new scholarship to the traditional scholarships. The ASEV Presidents’ Award for Scholarship in Enology and Viticulture will honor two students with $12,500 each (one for enology and one for viticulture), for a total of $25,000. To be considered for this scholarship, students will be assessed not only on their grade point average but also on their intent to forge a career in the wine and grape industry. Eligibility requirements and applications are available here. Those who apply are automatically considered for the traditional scholarship. The deadline to submit for all scholarships is March 1 of each year. For more information about the ASEV Presidents’ Award for Scholarship or to apply, click here.

ASEV has made several changes in the last few years, including the Catalyst, a new scholarship, early career mentorship, themed seminars and much more. We are not the same Society of a decade ago or even five years ago, and we would love to talk with you about ASEV, the changes we’ve made and how we can elevate or enhance your career. Visit the ASEV booth at the Unified Symposium during trade show hours on January 25 and 26, 2017.
