Past Student Scholarships
MAG partners with local colleges and universities with accredited metalsmithing programs to recognize outstanding student work. The scholarship award money is given to each student as a “no strings attached” style grant. The winning student is then interviewed for our newsletter and their work is promoted through our social media. Each scholarship is juried and the jurors for each year are chosen from among current MAG members based on their level of achievement and commitment to the field.
