Embroiderers' Guild Scholarship 2013

Deadline: February 4, 2013 (RECEIVE)


Guild Scholarship 2013
Embroiderers' Guild
Walton on Thames, Surrey




Two Embroiderers’ Guild Scholarships of £1000 each are awarded annually to students to develop the practice of embroidery. One Scholarship is for students in the age category of 18 to 30 years inclusive, and one Scholarship is for students over 30 years of age.

All applicants should have studied the practice of embroidery or stitched textiles through formal or informal learning. The Scholarships are to support students to undertake projects which further their own practice. Working with the Embroiderers’ Guild during the Scholarship year provides each Scholar with opportunities to be introduced to the Guild’s network of Members, Branches and practising professionals.

The aim of the Scholarships is to support embroiderers to implement project proposals which further their own embroidery practice. Criteria for selection are consistent within both age categories.

Criteria for selection
• The Scholarships are for embroiderers who have studied the practice of embroidery or stitched textiles through formal or informal learning.
• Selection will be based equally on an applicants ability as an embroiderer (6 images on a CD) and the quality of the Scholarship project proposal.
• The specific Scholarship use must be given
• Selection will be based on how the applicant intends to use the Scholarship, and it must therefore be shown how the project proposal will further the applicant's own embroidery practice.
• The project proposal must be in line with the aim of the Scholarship. Ineligible proposals will make the application void.
• The application must include a timetable, action plan and a breakdown of costs for the Scholarship project proposal.
