    Now Taking Applications for HGA Scholarships

    Financial Support for Students


    HGA Scholarships

    Deadline: May 1, 2026 

    Each year, the Handweavers Guild of America, Inc. (HGA) provides over $4,000 in scholarships for students enrolled in accredited academic programs in the United States and Canada. The scholarships fund students furthering their education in the fiber arts, including textile research, history and conservation. Rather than financial need, scholarship funds are awarded based on artistic and technical excellence and/or demonstrated excellence in research of textiles, textile history and textile conservation. If you are a student, we hope you will consider applying. If you know of a student who may qualify, we hope you will forward them this information.

    Volunteer to Serve on the Scholarship Review Panel

    Each year, Handweavers Guild of America, Inc. (HGA) members may volunteer to serve on the Scholarship review panel. 

    Qualifications

    • Must be an HGA Member
    • Fiber arts experience
    Volunteer applicants will need to log into their accounts to apply. Scholarship Panelists can expect to receive access to the review portal and applicant materials on May 15, 2026, and will be required to complete scoring by June 10, 2026. 

    We hope you'll consider lending a hand in this process!
