Kentucky Distillers’ Association will fund scholarships aimed at increasing diversity in the distilled spirits industry. The KDA UK Scholars Program Fund will annually support full tuition for up to four students in the University of Kentucky’s distillation, wine and brewing studies program.
“As there are too few diverse voices in our industry, the new KDA Scholars program is a vital part of our commitment to building a workforce that’s more reflective of our country’s population and culture,” said KDA president Eric Gregory.
Through its Lifting Spirits Foundation, the Kentucky Distillers’ Association will fund 27 credit hours for students enrolling in the distillation, wine and brewing studies program.
