FTWG offers a $500.00 scholarship yearly to an FTWG member in good standing for one year. Tuition must be for a fiber-related study to an accredited institution, development of skills at a fiber-related school, or pre or post conference workshops.
It can also be used for related lab/materials fees, room, board and travel related expenses to the study. If awarded, it must be used within 18 months.
In return, you are required to perform two activities: you must display the skills you acquired at the FTWG Conference after your award.
You may teach a mini session, set up an informative table/display, or pass your knowledge along in another way at Conference. Additionally, you will submit an informative article about the class for the FTWG newsletter.
