CAVE Scholarship Program (Colorado Association for Viticulture & Enology)

The Colorado Association for Viticulture & Enology annually awards numerous scholarships to current CAVE members seeking to further their education in enology, viticulture, or curriculum with an emphasis in the wine and grape industry. Awards are not in predetermined amounts and may vary from year to year; all recommendations by the Scholarship Committee are subject to final approval by the CAVE Board of Directors, and CAVE reserves the right not to award scholarships in any given year. The application window runs October to March. Individual/student-facing award (tagged applicant_types accordingly), based in Palisade, Colorado.

Apply between October and March through the CAVE scholarship application form. Eligibility: applicants must be current CAVE members or students currently enrolled in viticulture or enology programs; applications must be complete or they will not be considered; current CAVE Board members and staff may not apply. Previous applicants and recipients may reapply each year in open competition. The captured page states an application deadline of March 2nd, 2026 — that date has passed, so confirm the current cycle's deadline with CAVE before applying.
