In 2010 Distillers Grains Technology Council (DGTC) will be providing a number of graduate student research scholarships. This is to encourage increased research and reward outstanding research accomplished regarding the rapidly growing quantity of distillers grains products. It will take the combined creative efforts of many people, universities and companies in the production and utilization of these co-products of dry mill fuel ethanol plants.

DGTC each year for over 60 years has annually provided a symposium on distillers grains. This symposium has a long tradition of providing current, relevant topics pertaining to distillers grains production, utilization, transportation, marketing, and non-traditional uses.

At this years’ symposium, we intend to offer at least 4-5 $750 or $500 scholarships to current graduate students that will have completed original research devoted to new information in distillers grains production/distribution, animal feeding (nutrition) or other applications/uses.

Next symposium is scheduled for May 12-13, 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Winning applicants attending the symposium will receive $750 or $500 scholarship plus all approved travel expenses to attend. Recipients of scholarships will be required to prepare a poster of their distillers grains research which will be exhibited at the symposium. The following pages provide additional information, requirements and application, and also are on the web site: www.distillersgrains.org

Details will be available in January 2010.
