Robert Alexander Scott Scholarship

This scholarship program supports individuals who are working to advance beyond entry-level roles in the viticulture and enology fields. It is designed for current non-supervisory vineyard or winery employees, as well as their spouses, partners, and children. Candidates must pursue certificates or associate degrees in viticulture or enology at designated community colleges, or be transfer students pursuing a bachelor's degree in wine and viticulture at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Applicants must demonstrate financial need, maintain satisfactory academic standing, and provide proof of qualifying industry employment. Funding can be used for full-time or part-time study, and previous recipients are permitted to apply for continued support in subsequent years as they complete their educational programs.
