Future Suffolk County Cornell students will have the opportunity to grow alongside Long Island’s unique Merlot terroir, thanks to a new scholarship for viticulture and enology.

The LIMA East End Enology/Viticulture Scholarship and Internship, offered by the Long Island Merlot Alliance (LIMA) will be awarded annually to one Suffolk County student attending Cornell University’s viticulture and enology program.  The scholarship totals $3,500, divided into $1,750 the first year and $1,750 the second year.

Along with the monetary award, scholarship recipients will have a summer internship opportunity to work at member wineries, including Martha Clara Vineyards, Raphael, T’Jara Vineyards, and Wölffer Estate Vineyard.
