On June 20 radio station Giant FM announced that award-winning Niagara winemaker and late NC almunus, Paul Pender, is being honoured through a scholarship that will help the next generation of diverse winemakers. The segment highlights that Moray Tawse, founder of Tawse Winery in Vineland where Pender was the Director of Viticulture and Winemaking at the time of his passing, has made an endowed gift of close to $200,000 to create “The Tawse Winery Paul Pender Memorial BIPOC Student Award,’ and will will fund annual $10,000 scholarships for BIPOC students in NC’s Winery and Viticulture Technician program, which Pender graduated from in 2006.
