Dendel Scholarship Grant

Handweavers Guild of America
HGA is an international membership association created to encourage excellence, inspire creativity, and preserve fiber arts traditions through education and community.
HGA provides educational programs, conferences, and an award-winning quarterly publication, Shuttle Spindle & Dyepot, to its members as it seeks to increase awareness of and appreciation for the fiber arts.
Description
The Handweavers Guild of America, Inc. (HGA) offers the Dendel scholarship for students enrolled in accredited academic programs in the United States and Canada. The scholarship funds students furthering their education in the field of fiber arts, including textile research, history, and conservation. Rather than financial need, scholarship funds are awarded based on artistic and technical excellence and/or on demonstrated excellence in research of textiles, textile history, and textile conservation.
The Dendel Scholarship is made possible by a generous donation in honor of the late Gerald and Esther Dendel to foster studies in handweaving.
Dendel Scholarship funds can be used for tuition as well as materials or travel determined on a case-by-case basis. Applicants will be judged on their skill and dedication to handweaving.

Eligibility

Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited undergraduate or graduate fiber arts academic program in the United States or Canada.
Scholarship funds will only be applied toward expenses directly tied to your study at the accredited institution in which you are currently enrolled. Scholarship funds can not be applied to an independent workshop.
Only one scholarship is awarded per individual per year.
Applicants are not required to be members of HGA.
