15+ Textile Scholarships; 1 Application

The AATCC Foundation scholarship and fellowship application is now open for the 2023-2024 academic year. Undergraduate and graduate students in any textile-related discipline may apply for more than a dozen separate scholarships and $100,000 total funding with one simple online form. Students enter their school, education level, major, and other criteria once. The system automatically lists matching scholarships and any required personal statements.

Several scholarships have February 2023 deadlines. The rest close on March 31, 2023. Recipients will be notified over the summer.
