Deadline: May 4, 2025
Applications for the Slow Food Negroni Week Fund: Education Scholarships 2025 are now open. The goal of the scholarship is to give less experienced and connected professionals an opportunity for training, networking and focused learning on sustainability in the hospitality industry.
Hospitality professionals worldwide struggle with access to training and education that would take them to the next level in the beverage industry. They also lack opportunities to interact with producers for their professional and personal development, and to gain a deeper understanding of the origins of beverage. At the same time, hospitality professionals play a key role in conveying fundamental values, such as sustainability, social justice and equity.
Benefits
- A cohort of 12 people per event will receive lodging, a $1,000 travel stipend, registration, connection and training with a Slow Food ambassador, and a special Slow Food welcome dinner during the event. Applicants will choose either Tales of the Cocktail (July 20-25, 2025 in New Orleans, USA), Terra Madre Americas (September 26–28, 2025 in Sacramento, USA) or Slow Wine Fair (February 22-24, 2026 in Bologna, Italy).
Eligibility
- Applicants must be currently employed in the beverage industry and interested in incorporating Slow Food values of “good, clean and fair food and beverage for all” into their work.
- They will prioritize:
- underrepresented people
- first-time event attendees
- applicants who demonstrate interest in Slow Food values of good, clean and fair beverage.
