The Sallie Knowles Joseph Scholarship application is now open!
The scholarship is the heart inside our 'why'. We believe that supporting and encouraging female western artists and makers through providing scholarships that create opportunities to continue their education is vital for continuing the traditions and skills of the west. The namesake of the scholarship, Sallie Knowles Joseph, was an accomplished artist, maker, poet and horseman. She was always seeking another learning experience with gifted instructors. Not only did she set an example for others, but she was a mentor to many.
We have had the pleasure of giving out 21 scholarships during 3 rounds of applications. We are looking forward to reviewing the upcoming applicants and expanding our community of recipients.
Applications for 2025 will be open Jan 1 - 31
With our scholarship program we preserve and support the ongoing legacy of women artists and makers of the West. We’re dedicated to providing a wide range of educational opportunities.
