As a woodwork program instructor or school administrator, the Architectural Woodwork Institute Education Foundation (AWIEF) Board of Directors invites you to nominate an outstanding woodwork student for consideration of the 2022 AWIEF Scholarship Program.
Scholarship winners receive financial scholarship proceeds that can be used to offset costs of their woodwork studies for admissions, class supplies, and or books that might be incurred through their education institutions.
