ASEV-Eastern Section Scholarship Recipients

2013-1014

Seven $1,000 student scholarships were awarded this year. Recipients included Sarah Bowman of Southern Illinois University, DeAnna D’Attilio of Virginia Tech, Aimee Hasenbeck from the University of Arkansas, Cain Hickey from Virginia Tech, Dylan Rolfes from Iowa State University, Jennifer Savits from Iowa State University and Lindsay Springer of Cornell University. In the Student Paper Competition, two students received $500 awards: Lindsay Springer of Cornell University was recognized for the best student enology paper with an award sponsored by Lallemand Inc., and Lindsay Jordan of Cornell University was recognized for best student viticulture paper with an award sponsored by the National Grape Cooperative.

Scholarship recipients attending the conference recieved complimentary registration and room expenses during the ASEV-Eastern Section conference in Winston-Salem, NC last July.

The scholarship fund depends on income generated during the our fundraising events each year. Since 2007 the efforts of generous donors and bidders and the support of Eastern Winery Exposition and Vineyard and Winery Management have provided nearly $75,000 toward this program.  The impact past recipients have had on the wine industry, nationwide is priceless.

The association is very grateful for the generous contributions for our fundraising events.
