2013 Scholarship Winners!

IAMPETH is pleased to announce that we have awarded the scholarships to the 2013 convention in Albuquerque.  Skyler Chubak receives the $1000 scholarship, Theresa Varela receives the local scholarship.  We are very grateful to our selection committee for their dedication and thoughtfulness.  We’d also like to thank the 20+ applicants for making this a tough decision.  The 2014 convention scholarship information will be posted in September – stay tuned!

IAMPETH SCHOLARSHIP AWARD REQUIREMENTS

Please note this is a scholarship opportunity, not a juried competition.  Applicants of all skill levels will receive equal consideration.

We are excited to have the opportunity to offer two scholarships – one to a person local to the 2013 convention in Albuquerque and who does not need to bear travel or housing expenses, the other to someone who must travel AND pay for housing at the hosting hotel while attending the convention. 

Applicants should have some calligraphic knowledge and/or experience, have completed high school (or the equivalent), be an IAMPETH member in good standing and be at least 18 years of age at the time of the convention.

• The local scholarship is for the convention fee (the recipient must still pay their IAMPETH dues.)

• The $1000 scholarship is for the convention fee and help with hotel and travel expenses (the recipient must still pay their IAMPETH dues.)

Once the fee is deducted, the remainder of the $1000 will paid by check to the recipient to be used for travel, housing at the hosting hotel, meals and supplies for the convention.

The scholarship is non-transferable.  If the recipient is unable to attend, the award is forfeited and any funds received must immediately be returned to the IAMPETH Scholarship Chair.

The recipient is required within the year’s span from convention to convention to give back in some way to IAMPETH.  For example – writing a newsletter article, hosting a table at the Round Robin, teaching a session at the following year’s convention (upon approval of the convention coordinator), donating an item to the silent auction or volunteering to assist at the convention.
