WJA Student Scholarship 2010-2011

This scholarship program awards funding in two categories: the Designer Category for students in studio jewelry programs applying with finished pieces they designed and created themselves, and the Non-Designer Category for those studying to become bench jewelers, gemologists, appraisers, retailers, or watch makers.

Designer Category applicants must submit: a short essay explaining their career goals in jewelry or watches; three digital images of their most recent work ranked by significance with brief descriptions including materials, size, and significance of each piece; and a completed entry form. Non-Designer Category applicants must submit: an essay of no more than 5000 characters addressing their program of study, motivation, qualifications for the scholarship, career goals in the jewelry or watch industries, and how the industry will benefit from their receiving the scholarship; and a completed entry form. Images are not required for the Non-Designer category. Entry fee is $10.00.
