SNAG - Educational Endowment Scholarships
The SNAG Educational Endowment exists to provide access to educational opportunities for students and professionals looking to broaden their education in the metalsmithing and jewelry field. For the 2024 funding cycle ending June 30, 2025, there is a total of $10,000 to be awarded to recipients. The Educational Endowment Scholarship Selection Committee will determine the number and amount of the awards, based on the strength of the applications.
The Educational Endowment Scholarship awards are designated by Student and Professional categories.
All awards are to be used toward a course of study in North America related to the jewelry and metals field and are intended to help expand the applicant's practice. Award funds are paid directly to the recipient to cover costs of educational expenses. Recipients will be required to give an end of year report documenting the use of scholarship funds and how it benefited their metalsmithing and jewelry education. Each award also includes a one-year SNAG membership.
The Student category defines a student as being enrolled full-time or part-time in any educational program to include college, university, technical college, community college, non-traditional school, and/or any other degree, certificate or non-certificate granting program in North America. At least one (1) scholarship will be awarded to a student attending a two-year institution and at least one (1) scholarship will be awarded to a current undergraduate student.
The Professional Artist category defines a professional as someone who has not been enrolled in a degree or certificate program in the past 3 years but is actively seeking to expand their skill set through enrollment in a course of study in North America related to the jewelry and metals field. For the 2024 Educational Endowment Awards, no more than one scholarship will be awarded to a professional in academia and at least one scholarship will be awarded to a professional outside of academia.
