2008 Summer/Fall Scholarships

Application Procedures

All scholarships are awarded as credits to be applied to Workshop expenses only. Cash awards are not issued. Winners will be responsible for lab fees, model fees, meals, accommodations, supplies, and travel expenses.

To guarantee and secure your space in the workshop of your choice, you must pay the $300 deposit (which includes the non-refundable $45 application) and follow the formal application and registration procedures for that workshop. If your first choice workshop is not in danger of filling by April 22, 2008, there is no need to register in advance, but scholarship winners will need to register and pay the deposit if they have not previously done so. Please call (505) 983-1400, ext. 11 to check workshop availability.

A separate set of scholarship materials is required for each scholarship you apply for. If you apply for more than one scholarship, you must send 20 images for each scholarship. Each scholarship category is judged separately.
