ISBT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

THE ISBT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM ...

Since 2008, ISBT has been awarding scholarships to academically quali ed students who have shown an interest in pursuing a career in the beverage industry by coursework or an internship with beverage companies or suppliers to the beverage industry. For most of those years, 3 scholarships per year were awarded. In 2019, ISBT awarded its rst Emeritus Scholarship, which we hope to award each year to a current ISBT member or part of a current member’s immediate family.

The ISBT scholarship is awarded annually by the International Society of Beverage Technologists in the amount of $1,000 to a student meeting our outlined criteria. The Emeritus Scholarship will be for $2,500. Once the recipient has been identi ed, they can continue the support until graduation as long as they maintain the requirements and recommendation set by the department. The review will occur annually by the University representative and Scholarship Committee within ISBT. Upon graduation the student is granted 1 year free membership. ISBT bylaws require that members be at least 21 years of age. In the event the scholarship recipient is an ISBT member already in the beverage industry role, the same academic and employment guidelines will be required.

SCHOLARSHIP SUCCESS STORY

“

Throughout my internships within the beverage industry I have grown tremendously as a student of the business. My most recent internship with the Coca Cola Bottling Company Consolidated has propelled my interests into new elds such as lean manufacturing, maintenance, and quality. Concepts such as lean thinking, continuous improvement, and teamwork help make Consolidated a great place to work and truly drive a successful culture. Overall, Beverage packaging is the perfect combination of engineering, food science, and business that can help develop a young packaging engineer into a well-rounded professional. I am honored to receive the ISBT Scholarship and plan on applying it towards my last year at Clemson University. ISBT has provided me with an opportunity to continue my education and once again become an ambassador for both the organization and the industry.
