WBI Scholarships Part 3

This week we continue the series showcasing our scholarship winners for the current 23-24 academic year.  Today we congratulate Derek Baljeu, Winemaker at Knights Bridge Winery in Knights Valley.  

Derek continues a trend we have seen where more and more viticulturists and winemakers come back to school to pursue a Graduate Business Degree.  Derek has both a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Viticulture and Enology.  This fall he will begin his studies in our Global Executive Wine MBA Program.

Scholarships for first generation students are abundant at Sonoma State.  Check out our Wine Industry Scholars Program and prepare to submit an application during the next opportunity in the fall:  Undergraduate Scholarships.
