Heart of Colorado FiberArts Guild Memorial Scholarship Fund

The objective of this fund is to provide scholarships to HCFG members, individually or collectively, to continue study in the fiber arts and to result in guild enrichment.  Awards are made based on each proposal, and not on the basis of the applicant’s financial need.  Criteria for granting proposals are contribution of the proposal to the applicant’s technical and aesthetic development, benefit to the guild, and commitment of the applicant.
