Research Park Triangle, N.C. – Scholarships in multiple textile-related disciplines are available for the 2023-2024 academic year – and all accessible by filing out a single application form.

The AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) Foundation’s scholarship and fellowship program encompasses $100,000 in total funding.

Students enter their school, education level, major and other criteria once. The system automatically lists matching scholarships and any required personal statements.

“There’s something for everyone – from an Indian citizen studying fashion design in Rhode Island to a U.S. citizen pursuing a materials science Ph.D. in Texas,” said the AATCC.

Several scholarships have February 2023 deadlines. The rest close on March 31, 2023. Recipients will be notified over the summer. In addition to the tuition funding, all Foundation scholars receive free registration for the 2023 AATCC Textile Discovery Summit and up to $500 in travel reimbursement.
