SOCIETY FOR INCLUSIVE BLACKSMITHS SCHOLARSHIP
This scholarship is made possible by the Society for Inclusive Blacksmiths to increase accountability within the craft and to support diversity in the field of blacksmithing. The SIBs scholarship is available to individuals from historically marginalized groups, which includes anyone who identifies as BIPOC, LGBTQA+, female, or disabled. The SIBs scholarship covers the class tuition and materials of a Metal Museum blacksmithing class. You must be 18 or older to receive the scholarship.
Scholarship recipients will be asked to write a short statement regarding the impact of the scholarship on their practice at the conclusion of the class. The statement and a photo of the recipient and/or their work will be used in social media posts by SIB and the Metal Museum (alternative arrangements can be made if the recipient wishes to remain anonymous).
