The Scholarships

Each year the Foundation awards six scholarships to high school seniors whose parent or legal guardian is employed by a California winegrape grower. In addition, one Robert Miller Memorial Scholarship is awarded each year.

The six scholarships are for either a University of California or California State University Four Year Program ($8,000 each) or for a California Community College Two Year Program ($2,000 each).

Students may study the subject of their choice.

The Robert Miller Memorial Scholarship provides either $500 for Alan Hancock College or $1,000 for Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. See the link below for the eligibility and study subject requirements of this scholarship.

 

Who May Apply

  • Only children with a parent or legal guardian employed by a California winegrape grower during the current or past growing season are eligible to apply.
  • You must be a currently graduating high school senior.
  • Students currently enrolled in college are not eligible to apply.

The Selection Process

The board of the California Association of Winegrape Growers Foundation will award the scholarships. Selection is based upon financial need, demonstrated scholastic ability, community involvement, leadership and/or work history, and determination to succeed.

Community Involvement, leadership, and/or work history is a broad category that assumes one or a combination of the following:

  • Community service;
  • Employment where the student is making a contribution to the California economy which may not allow time for community service;
  • Sports participation with the understanding that these activities build character and leadership skills, teach strategic and analytical thinking and promote goal setting and teamwork.
