- Qualifying courses include, but are not limited to, multi-day workshops sponsored by
the Guild as well as multi-day workshops held before or after Convergence or regional weavers'
conferences. Applications to attend multi-day workshops sponsored by organizations other than
these must be accompanied by a brochure describing the event. Conference seminars and mini-sessions
do not qualify. The scholarship is intended to support the cost of tuition for the program, not the cost of transportation, lodging or meals.
- Application forms may be obtained from the Scholarship Committee Chairperson
(or you can print them from here)
and must be typed, computer-generated or legibly printed.
- Deadlines for submission of applications are January 15 for workshops to be held the following summer, April 15 for workshops to be
held during the following fall, and October 15 for workshops to be held during the following winter and spring.

return the money to the Weavers' Guild of St. Louis as soon as possible.
