Industry
As a 6th generation brewery, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for the next generation of talented brewers. Through these opportunities, we aim to cultivate a more inclusive brewing community. We continue to support aspiring beer professionals through meaningful partnerships and programs that promote education, career development, inclusivity, and diversity.
Yuengling’s scholarship programs
Yuengling’s scholarship program started in 2017 with a partnership with the University of South Florida St. Petersburg (USFSP) Brewing Arts Program to provide a tuition scholarship, now known as the Yuengling Veteran Award, to aspiring brewers. The Yuengling Veteran Award grants a student, who previously served in the military, the opportunity to learn foundational brewing knowledge via online courses and then complete hands-on training with a local brewery. In 2019, Yuengling and Pink Boots Society launched the Yuengling Women in Brewing Scholarship Program as part of Yuengling’s multi-year commitment to the Pink Boots Society. The scholarships can be used to enroll in brewing courses at up to seven universities across the country.
