The Furniture Society is thrilled to offer scholarships through partnerships with Anderson Ranch, Arrowmont, Haystack, John C. Campbell Folk School, Peters Valley, and Pocosin Arts.
The goal of these partnerships is to promote excellence in the furniture field through professional development and supporting projects of an educational nature.
The six partnerships are supported through the Educational Grants arm of The Furniture Society and provide unique educational opportunities open exclusively to currently enrolled members of The Furniture Society, with the exception of our partnership with Anderson Ranch, which offers a BIPOC-specific grant that is open to both FS members and non-members. Each FS grant is designed to highlight an opportunity particular and unique to the partnering institution.
Grant Applications Are Now Closed. Please Visit These Institution’s Websites for their 2024 Workshop Schedules.
