Birdseye Scholarship for Under-represented Students in Woodworking

Presented by Birdseye, an award-winning builder and architecture company located in Richmond Vermont, this scholarship is intended to support future woodworkers who are traditionally underrepresented in the field.

The following questions are intended to guide your response, so you don't necessarily need to answer them as separate bullet points. We're interested in getting to know you and the way you work. It's helpful to be thorough but we don't need an entire essay.

Describe your interest in design. Have you explored any other forms of creative expression? If this is a new interest for you, what drew your attention to furniture making/design?

What kind of energy will you bring to the shop? Have you worked in an environment with other creators? Do you prefer to work alone, or in the middle of a group?

Is there anything else we should know about you? Any formative experiences that have driven your interest in art or woodworking? Are there any influences or sources that you pull from when designing?

Thanks for submitting!
