Scholarships are open on a quarterly basis at The Roots Fund. If you are on our mailing list, you get access before everyone else. Scholars reach out for support in a multitude of areas. Some are in search of certification because they aspire to be sommeliers or wine educators. Others are focused on a particular region or varietal of grape. Some scholars are just starting their wine journey, and we do all we can to encourage them. Our ultimate goal is to get more people of color into careers in wine.
