The college's Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management program is the first of its kind.

Ottawa's Dominion City Brewing Company is partnering with Niagara College to offer the Dominion City Co. & Beer.Diversity Scholarship.

Beer.Diversity is an initiative by Ren Navarro to address the lack of diversity in the brewing industry.

The scholarship will be awarded annually to one senior-level student in the Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management program.

The scholarship includes $1,000 toward tuition and will be followed by a paid eight-week internship at Dominion City Brewing.

The internship will focus on the process of beer production.

Together with @beer_diversity and @niagaracollege, we are pleased to announce the establishment of the Dominion City Beer. Diversity. Scholarship.

Dominion City Brewing said the scholarship is "meant to provide talented brewers presently underrepresented in Ontario's craft beer industry with valuable first-hand experience to jump-start a successful career in the field."
