2016 Student Scholarship Application Form
Deadline: February 15, 2016
Each year, the Glass Art Society recognizes the achievements and potential of those members
currently enrolled as full-time students in undergraduate and graduate programs. Applications are
evaluated by a professional jury, and selected students are awarded scholarships to enable them
attend the annual GAS conference in order to learn, connect, and grow as artists.
Scholarships in 2016 will provide financial support to students planning to attend the 45th annual GAS
conference in Corning, NY from June 9-11, 2016. A total of $5,000 USD will be awarded through general
scholarships to select eligible applicants, and one Becky Winship Flameworking Scholarship ($1,000 USD)
will be awarded to a student who uses flameworking techniques (generously funded by David Winship of
Glasscraft, Inc.). Students need only submit one application to be considered for all scholarships.
To be eligible to apply, students must be enrolled full-time in a degree-granting program, be current student
members of GAS, and cannot be recent recipients of GAS student scholarships (2012-2015). All images
submitted by students must reflect work that is original, professionally crafted, contains glass as a main
element, and created between 2015-2016. All videos must be less than 5 minutes in length.
Please complete the following information and save as a word document (.doc). Email this form,
along with a copy of your student ID or transcript, and 4 images of your work (saved as .jpg files at
150 dpi, approximately 3x5 inches) to [email protected].
