Scholarship Fund

MBAA's mission is to assist the brewing industry in continually improving their processes and products by providing and communicating technical information and innovation through the provision of professional development and support.

As part of that mission, District Midwest has established an annual $1,000 scholarship to provide funds to an individual(s) furthering his/her knowledge and understanding of our industry's malting, brewing, and packaging fields. The funds awarded can be applied to course fees, tuition, book and material purchase, or other associated costs relating to furthering the applicant's education. The District's Scholarship Committee will determine the amount to be awarded and the annual winner(s). Awarding of the annual scholarship will be made at a predetermined District Midwest meeting.

In order to be considered for the scholarship, an applicant must be a member in good standing with District Midwest, obtain the endorsement of two members of District Midwest, and complete the application process.

After scholarship funds are awarded, the recipient is expected to submit a written summary or deliver a verbal presentation (5 minutes) describing their education experience, detailing how he/she benefited. The summary is to be presented at an MBAA District Midwest meeting.
