Stoel Rives is a proud annual sponsor of the Washington Wine Industry Foundation (and full disclosure: I am a board member) – a nonprofit, charitable organization that was founded almost twenty years ago with a goal to strengthen the future of the Washington wine industry through growth, education, and sustainability.

Since 2002, the foundation has awarded 185 scholarships totaling $263,000 to Washington students who are pursuing certificates or degrees in viticulture, enology and other wine-related studies. This year, the foundation will offer more than $30,000 in scholarships. Applications are due by May 31, 2021. For more information on the scholarships and to apply, click here.
