Scholarships

2011 Scholarship recipient Hillary Ritt

We offer scholarships to encourage the participation of talented individuals who could not otherwise afford our courses.

Workshop Scholarships

In 2012, we will award at least 18 scholarships for one-week and two-week workshops.

Scholarships cover the cost of tuition, but successful applicants must confirm their participation by paying the standard $75 registration fee, and remain responsible for the costs of their own travel, lodging, meals, materials, and any supply fees.

For 2012, scholarships are funded by private gifts, by the Au Pair General Scholarship Fund to encourage women in woodworking, by our scholarship endowment, and by a gift in memory of Nicola E. Taylor.

The application deadline is April 1, 2012 and notification will be sent by April 15, 2012.
