SAW Patrick Spielman Memorial Scholarship

[BobD (Archive)]

Hey everyone,
We just got a press release from the Scrollsaw Association of the World about a new scholarship they've started. The deadline to apply is Feb. 28. We won't be able to publicize the fact that you can apply in the magazine, but we will be able to post something about the winner in News & Notes.

The application and eligibility requirements are available at www.SAW-online.com

Thanks Bob, looks like a good reason to live in the States <grin>

Those international laws sure make life complicated

I wonder if I should start "Citizenship of the World" organization. Get free access to every country and all benefits therein.

Our defining feature could be group hugs and our National anthem "Kumbaya"

All kidding aside. Patrick Spielman has done more for the world of scrolling than anyone I could think of.
It is a fitting tribute to a great man.

Hi CanadianScroller,

Thanks Bob for posting the information.

We are hoping to grow this program. This is our first attempt at doing something like this. If those of you from other countries can send us any information about how that kind of thing is handled in your country, please do so.

As with anything else, you start off with what you know best, and for us that is how this works in the US.

I understand the amount of work and that is required and the hoops you must jump through to establish a Scholarship.

I am on a committee which reviews applications for 3 bursaries in our local union. All the "t"s need to be crossed and the "i"s need to be dotted.

Hats off to the folks at SAW.
