In an effort to memorialize TNNA members and other individuals who have contributed to the growth of the needleart industry, and to encourage and support TNNA members and their children to continue their education beyond high school, the association established a scholarship fund.

 

Evaluation of applicants is achieved by an analysis of such information as academic research, extracurricular activities, test scores and recommendations.

Scholarships are awarded for the purpose of higher education in the study of fiber arts or business, with preference given to TNNA members' children and the children of members' employees. Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded. Scholarship applicants must be enrolled in an accredited educational institution.

The deadline is April 15. Any information received after the deadline date cannot be considered. Winners will be notified in May. Download the Scholarship Applicant Letter, the High School Application or the Post High School Application and follow the instructions.

If you have any questions, contact TNNA Administrative Coordinator Melanie Denton at mdenton@offinger.com or 800-889-8662, ext. 3128.
