TSS Memorial Sculpture Scholarship
Tri State Sculptors Education Association, Inc., is pleased to offer two awards of no less than $500 to two sculpture students (typically, one undergraduate and one graduate) who are attending any accredited art school, community college, college or university. In addition to the cash award, scholarship recipients also receive a one year free membership in Tri State and a waiver of the conference fee waived for the next annual conference following receipt of the award.
Nominations of sculpture students may come from any Tri State Member in good standing. Additionally, students may self nominate. Nominations should be in the form of a brief letter, and may be submitted via email to the TSS Scholarship Chair.
Scholarship submissions must be postmarked by April 30th of each year. Judging will take place in May and notification will be made shortly thereafter. The scholarships will be awarded at the following fall conference. Jurors will be drawn from all TSS members in good standing. A three person panel of jurors will include the TSS Scholarship Chair and two other TSS members selected by the current TSS president. TSS members sponsoring applicants for the scholarship will not be eligible to serve as Jurors for that particular session.
