JUDY CHETEYAN SCHOLARSHIP
Businesswoman
and previous President of the SCC Board, Judy Cheteyan, has been an
invaluable asset to the arts community in Pittsburgh. Both Judy and her

community; therefore, affordable exposure to both is crucial for
citizens. The Judy Cheteyan Scholarship Fund is an annual paid summer
internship offered through Contemporary Craft that provides a college or
graduate student with the opportunity to gain professional experience
within an internationally known contemporary craft organization. The
scholarship will be used to pay a $3,000 stipend to the student during
the internship. 
The deadline to apply is January 15, 2015. 
 
STUDIO APPRENTICESHIP
The
Society for Contemporary Craft is offering a yearlong studio
apprenticeship to an emerging artist seeking to develop professional
studio management skills by working with one of the nation’s only
nonprofits focusing exclusively on creation, exhibition, and education
across all contemporary craft media. The apprentice scholarship offers a
monthly stipend and an additional $300 per month housing allowance.
This opportunity will provide a young artist with tools to be successful
through mentoring from SCC staff and visiting artists, professional
development, and networking opportunities. 
The deadline to apply is January 15, 2015.
