To be considered for a Delicato Family Wines’ Winemaker Scholarship, an applicant must: be a racial minority; show an interest and aptitude for the Sciences and for becoming a winemaker; be accepted to any California State University, University of California or Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU); be pursuing eligible majors; and act in a manner reflective of the Company Culture of Hard Work, High Standards, Innovation and Continuous Evolution, Trust in Team, and Sustainable Relationships. This is a full-ride scholarship (which will pay for tuition, room and board, books, fees, and/or other related educational expenses, the details of which will be set forth in a written document), so exact dollar amounts will vary.
Delicato Family Wines realizes there is an imbalance of race and diversity in the wine industry, specifically those in winemaking and we are committed to being part of a meaningful, long-lasting positive change. To that end, Delicato is launching a new Winemaker Scholarship and mentoring program. The mission and purpose of Delicato Family Wines’ Winemaker Scholarship Program is to support diversity efforts within the Wine Industry with a specific focus on supporting BIPOC students in their pursuit of becoming a Winemaker.
