The George & Susan Carter Scholarship was established in 2017 as an endowed fund in honor of Washington State University researcher and winemaker George Carter and his wife, Susan. The scholarship is awarded to one student for up to four years. This scholarship was established to assist students of limited means to attain associates, bachelors, and graduate-level degrees in viticulture and enology.

Overall high school GPA of freshman applicants must be 3.40; and overall college GPA of other applicants must be 3.0. Applicants must also be a Washington resident for at least 1 year. Preference will be given to applicants with financial need.

Two letters of recommendation are required. The letters should provide the Scholarship Committee with insight into the applicant's character, values, and unique attributes.
