M-WTCA Scholarship's

Our organization acknowledges that the most valuable "tool" any individual may ever own is the achievement of academic excellence in an institution of higher learning. In keeping with our goals of education and preservation, M-WTCA established a scholarship fund to assist  individual students seeking a two or four year degree.  M-WTCA will award up to six 1- year scholarships in the amount of $1500 each for the year 2008-2009. M-WTCA Scholarships are open to all students enrolled in a college or university offering a two or four year degree program. The scholarship committee may give preference to applicants whose stated goals and objectives support M-WTCA's "Purpose" as stated in our By-laws which is paraphrased as follows: "To Promote the preservation and study of antique and traditional tools and the trades that used them; and to communicate this information and knowledge to the public."
