Awards & Scholarships
ATASDA has developed a range of awards and scholarships as part of our objective to foster textile and fibre arts.
OUTSTANDING STUDENT AWARD 2010
Call for Nominations
Nominations for 2010 entries into ATASDA's annual Outstanding Student Award will be called for shortly, and forms will be available here in due course.
The Award will be presented to a textile student who is finishing high school in 2010 and is going on to further studies, or is a continuing tertiary student. The Award will recognise the student's achievements in textile arts and surface design. It will provide the student with all the benefits of ATASDA membership and complement their further studies in the field.
Students must be nominated by a financial member of ATASDA, but do not need to be a current member themselves.
