CHAPTER 1 SCHOLARSHIP GRANT—2012

The Directors of the Philadelphia Chapter No.1 of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc., (Chapter 1) cordially invite all interested and qualified individuals to apply for a Scholarship Grant to attend a recognized School of Horology in the U.S., including but not limited to the NAWCC School of Horology or an NAWCC Field Suitcase Workshop. Membership in the NAWCC by applicants is preferred but not required. One or more grant awards of up to $500 (five hundred dollars) are planned and may be used to cover all or part of the tuition and registration costs for a single course of study at a recognized School or in a Suitcase Workshop. Schedules for NAWCC School of Horology classes and Suitcase Workshops are available at www.nawcc.org., as are listings of other recognized Schools of Horology in the U.S. Previous award recipients may be eligible for a second scholarship at the Directors’ discretion.

Scholarship awards are given to promote the study of horology. After completing their course of study, scholarships awardees will be encouraged but not required to help at their NAWCC home chapter meetings by promoting the educational programs of the chapter through lectures, workshops and the like on horological topics and by other means. If they do not belong to a local chapter, they may also help with educational activities in other horological organizations.
