in viticulture, enology or marketing February 2005 Woodinville Rotary Club will offer scholarships this year to students enrolled in a college program designed to train those interested in a career path in the state's burgeoning wine industry. The first-time grants will be either for a student of viticulture studies (grape growing) at Washington State University, in enology-winemaking at Walla Walla Community College or wine marketing at Central Washington University. Club president Jay Soloff said preference will be given graduates of a Northshore School District high school or a resident of the school district. Consideration will be given a student who has already completed undergraduate work or has been accepted for upper division or certification work. The program to train professionals for the wine industry has been a joint undertaking of state industry leaders, the Washington Wine Commission and the three colleges. Individual members of the Woodinville club have contributed to the scholarship fund, Soloff said, through a volunteer program which rewards donors with a bottle of home-made Pinot Noir wine produced by a professional Woodinville winemaker from grapes grown at the four-year old Grace Town Vineyards. Two graduates of the enology program have been active in the Woodinville wine-producing region. They are Chris Peterson, an assistant winemaker at DeLille Cellars, and Amy Caruso, formerly a winemaker at recently re-located Woodhouse Family Cellars which moved to Woodinville from Seattle. Both wineries have been active philanthropically in causes also supported by the Woodinville Rotary Club. Those interested in applying will find an application blank at www.ns-scholarship.org/Apply03.htm and deadline for the 2005-06 awards is April 15. The club's scholarship committee will be active in the selection process. The Vit-Enol Scholarship brings to 21 scholarships the number the club will offer or be involved with this spring of 2005 in cooperation with the Northshore Scholarship Foundation. The Foundation is entering its 21st year and is operated by the Woodinville and Northshore Rotary clubs and the Kiwanis Club of Northshore. At Woodinville High School, Woodinville Rotary will offer $11,000 in grants -- eight academic scholarships, a leadership scholarship and a grant to a graduate planning to enter the teaching profession. It also provides $8,000 in scholarships at the University of Washington-Bothell in the degree-granting programs of business, nursing, teaching and interdisciplinary arts and sciences. The club provides financial and oversight support of nine other scholarships offered through the Foundation in the study fields of theater arts, math, communications and special education. Since becoming a partner in the Foundation in 1988, Woodinville Rotary has devoted $228,600 to scholarships and education and more than $1,075,000 in total charitable contributions through 2004.
