A wine scholarship has just been named in honor of Rush bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee.

The scholarship was created by Lee's fellow director's at Grapes for Humanity, a charity that works to raise funds to benefit humanitarian causes around the world with the assistance of the international wine community.

The board offered up a unanimous vote to launch a $26,500 scholarship in Lee's name; the Canadian government's Trust for Student Support will invest in the scholarship, as well, by matching that figure. A student of wine making with at Niagara College, located in Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario in Lee's native Canada, will enjoy the benefits that come with the scholarship. One of the requirements is the desire to pursue a career in the field. Crush dem grapes!
