SEND IN YOUR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS TODAY!

Penn-Jersey Basketry Guild members pursuing experiences in basketry outside of our guild sponsored events, are eligible for one of two $200 scholarships.  The scholarships are to be used for the acquisition of knowledge and/or skill directly related to basketry.  Awards are judged on essays submitted by each applicant.  Entries will consist of an application form and essay.  The essay should explain such things as what proposed activity the scholarship funds would be used for; where and when it will take place; what you hope to gain from participating in this educational activity; how the knowledge would be shared with guild members; how the scholarship funds could make a difference in being able to participate in the proposed activity; and anything else the applicant feels the judges should know in assessing their application.  Be as creative as you wish, but keep in mind that you may not use your name in the essay in order to maintain confidentiality.

Applicants are required to have been PJBG members for at least one year.  The award recipients are required to make a formal presentation to the guild once they complete their educational experience.

• The Charlotte Haines Scholarship Award deadline is June 1 and the winner will be announced at our Annual Picnic.  

• The Camella Potter Scholarship Award deadline is November 30 and the winner will be announced at our Annual Open House in January.
