AWIEF Scholarship Program
By nominating your most talented students, you help them access leading education and training that lays the groundwork for their future success.
The Architectural Woodwork Institute Education Foundation (AWIEF) Scholarship Program gives woodworking students the opportunity to receive $500 - $4,000 to offset the costs of their woodwork studies. By nominating your most talented students, you help them access leading education and training that lays the groundwork for their future success.
Nomination requirements
As a woodwork program instructor or school administrator, you can nominate up to two outstanding woodworking students for consideration of the AWIEF Scholarship Program. Who you choose to nominate is entirely your decision, as there are no conditions or requirements that students must meet to qualify for nomination.
