ASEV-Eastern Section Scholarship Fundraisers 2025
The American Society for Enology and Viticulture-Eastern Section (ASEV-ES) works every year to raise scholarship funds for students who are working toward careers in viticulture and enology. ASEV-ES typically awards graduate students a $1,000 scholarship (including conference registration and lodging).
ASEV-ES is proud to announce the Live and Silent Auction Scholarship Fundraiser to be held at during the Eastern Winery Exposition March 25-27, 2025 in Lancaster, NY.

The scholarship fund depends on income generated during 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 $130,000 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.
