Vineyard Team's
Juan Nevarez Memorial Scholarship

Helping Children of Wine Industry Workers

Higher education is important to many students but paying for college can be challenging. The Juan Nevarez Memorial Scholarship makes higher education investments in the children of California's vineyard and winery workers. The majority of awardees are the first in their family to attend college. First-generation students have more barriers when it comes to attaining higher education – they cannot ask their parents how to navigate the system, budgets are often tight, and they can feel guilty for leaving their families. This funding helps students and their families achieve their dream of becoming a college graduate and pursuing a professional career.

More Than a Scholarship

Because our goal is college success, the program includes multi-year scholarships to trade, two-, or four-year schools. We also provide a dedicated mentor to support the students throughout their collegiate career. With the help of our community, we can transform lives by increasing graduation rates and developing a qualified workforce that will contribute to their communities.
