Endowment

The Edmonton & District Quilters’ Guild very wisely started an Endowment Fund at the University of Alberta in Human Ecology.

The original Scholarship fund has since grown to include a second award for a grad student.

The two awards are the:

Edmonton and District Quilters‘ Guild Undergraduate Award

Field of Study: Human Ecology

Recipient will be selected on the basis of academic standing (minimum GPA of 3.0) and a demonstrated interest in quilting. Preference will be given to a student in financial need.

EDQG Founders Graduate Scholarship

Field of Study: Human Ecology

Awarded annually to a student registered in a master’s degree program in the Department of Human Ecology whose research focus is in the area of Textiles and Apparel Science. Recipients will be selected on the basis of superior academic achievement (equivalent to a GPA of 3.5 or greater on the University of Alberta grading scale). Preference is given to students specializing in textile construction, textile history, textile standards or material culture utilizing the Clothing and Textiles Collection, including the Gloria and Alvin Rosenberg Collection.
