Deadline: July 1, 2006
The Textile Society of America is pleased to announce the establishment of “Student/New Professional Scholarships” for the TSA Conference in Toronto, Oct. 11 – 14, 2006.
Five scholarships will be awarded to TSA members who are currently either students in a textile-related field, have graduated from a textile-related field within the past three years or have been in their first job in the textile field for less than three years.
The Scholarships will not be a cash award, but will cover the cost of the Symposium registration, including the banquet (a cash equivalent of approximately $350.00). The recipients will be responsible for covering their travel costs as well as other meals during the symposium.
Recipients will be asked to:
1. Attend the opening event of the symposium (the Scholarship recipients will be introduced at this event).
2. Select one panel or session from the Symposium or an exhibition on display in conjunction with the Symposium and write a review of it for the TSA Newsletter.
Please submit:
1. A statement (maximum 750 words) outlining how attendance at the Symposium would relate to and benefit your professional goals.
2. A resume.
Scholarship submissions will be reviewed and awards determined by the Textile Society of America Awards Committee. Please submit your request via e-mail to Vita Plume at vita_plume@ncsu.edu by July 1, 2006.
Recipients will be announced by August 1, 2006.
