Budweiser and its parent company Anheuser-Busch Inbev announced Wednesday it will award 30 scholarships annually over the next five years aimed at growing more Black representation in the beer brewing industry.

The beer brewer will partner with the United Negro College Fund to award the scholarships, which will be named after Natalie Johnson, the first female Black brewmaster for Anheuser-Busch, who serves as the company's brewing director for North America.The scholarships come at a time when nearly every company is confronting the issue of racism and diversity amid a national reckoning in the United States in the aftermath of George Floyd's death in May.

Each year, 25 scholarships worth US$4,000 will go to students pursuing science, technology, engineering and math majors, which can lead to careers in beer brewing.
