​2nd Annual
​Illinois Diversity in Brewing Scholarship

The Illinois Craft Brewers Guild and the Siebel Institute of Technology share the belief that Illinois’ craft brewing community will be stronger when it more fully reflects a diverse range of experiences, backgrounds, values, skills, and opinions. 
Now in its 2nd year, the Illinois Diversity in Brewing scholarship will help build a more inclusive, representative Illinois craft beer industry through equitable access to education and technical training. 
​Scholarships will be awarded annually to historically underrepresented groups including Female, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, LGBTQ, or Disabled individuals interested in joining the brewing industry or furthering their industry knowledge. Mentorship and job placement support will be available.

COURSE INFORMATION

The scholarships will be applied to one of two courses offered by the Siebel Institute and the World Brewing Academy (WBA) and cover the full cost of the course. Both courses are offered on a rolling basis throughout 2023.

• WBA Executive Overview of the Brewing Process: The entry-level course is designed especially for individuals who are interested in working in craft beer but have no prior paid experience. ​
• WBA Concise Course in Brewing Technology: The intermediate-level course is available to individuals currently working in the industry and looking to further their technical brewing knowledge. ​
