The Education Committee of District Ontario is offers a scholarship to any of the three
(brewing, packaging or engineering) two week short courses offered by the MBAA in
Madison, Wisconsin. There are three different Scholarships offered by the MBAA which
can be found on their website (www.mbaa.com) however, our proposed eligibility will be
slightly different than for the MBAA Scholarship as follows:
Successful candidates for the U. S. MBAA Scholarship will not be eligible for the
MBAC District Ontario Scholarship.
The value of the scholarship is USD$4,345 (approximately CDN $5,800) which
includes tuition and 2/3 board. Applicants must be committed to financing all other
ancillary costs, including transportation, involved with the course.
It is with great pleasure to announce that the 2020 winner of the Joel
Manning Memorial Scholarship is Stephen Rich, Brewmaster, Director -
Brewing Ops at Blyth Cowbell Brewing.Co.
Joel Manning was a wave maker in our community who brought a positive
energy to those around him, and helped advance our profession. The renaming the
scholarship in memory of Joel Manning for 2020 was warmly received. In the lead-up to
the golf tournament we received generous personal donations, in addition
to event sponsorship, which exceeded our expectations. So much so, we may be in
a position to increase our district's scholarship by way of a second
scholarship prize or another educational experience.

Manning Memorial Scholarship, I would like to also name past recipients of our
