Write a short essay and tell us why you are passionate about brewing and you may receive paid tuition ($1195) to the UC Davis's short course "Intensive Brewing Science for Practical Brewing . This is one of two schools funded by California Fermentation Society with it's scholarship funds. Our major fund raising activity is the Los Angeles County Fair Beer Competition which is heading into its fourth successful year. It is this event that offers us the opportunity to both educate the public about the variety and quality of beers available in this region and raise money to send brewers to Siebel Institute and UC Davis. This year we are offering to send a brewer to UC Davis's Extension course titled "Intensive Brewing Science for Practical Brewing ". This program is intended for entry level brewing industry professionals. It is of special interest to less experienced brewery employees who need technical training to enable them to understand how their jobs fit into the larger context of brewery operations. It is NOT a homebrewing course as they teach everything on a big system, however, it may be of interest to some homebrewers who have aspirations of going professional. Apply for the UC Davis directly to CFS. Simply describe in 100 words or less why you brew. In other words; what is it about brewing that lights your fire. Also, include a short statement regarding your level of experience. That can be something like; "serious homebrewer for 10 years; or brewer's assistant for two years. The decision will not necessarily be based on experience, but the applicant should have a good understanding of the brewing process. The final decision will be based purely on a subjective evaluation of the applicants' description of why he/she loves brewing. In the event of similar essays, a random drawing will be held. The Davis Scholarship does not include transportation or lodging. Deadline for entries is May 1, 2005. Applicants must be able to attend the June 20-24, 2005 course. Send your application to: Stein Fillers Brewing Supply 4160 Norse Way Long Beach, California, 90808 We also fund scholarships at Siebel Institute. For information regarding Siebel scholarships please go to: http://www.siebelinstitute.com/registration/scholarship.html Be sure to include on your application: Name, address, phone, email. Not open to board members of CFS or their family.
