APPLICATION DEADLINE: January 31, 2023
CRITERIA:
Any person who is planning to enroll in a wood science or wood technology program at an accredited two-year or four-year technical school, college, or university in North America is eligible to apply for a WMIA scholarship. Previous winners are eligible for a second award, but must reapply. Candidates must have graduated from high school or its equivalent before July 1 of the year in which they will use the scholarship. They must have sufficient academic records to be accepted by an accredited college, university, or technical institute. Students already in college are also eligible to apply. (Please note: This scholarship is intended to be used for the Fall 2023 semester. It is not to be used for retroactive expenses. If you are not enrolled in school for Fall 2023, you are ineligible to apply for a scholarship in this cycle.)
Judges will take into consideration academic success, interest, special abilities, financial need, and other factors in arriving at their choice of scholarship recipients. The judges will give consideration to the degree in which the career choice could have an application to the woodworking industry.
