Member Grants
To empower both its female members and students in the jewelry, watch and related industries, the Women's Jewelry Association offers two types of educational financial aid, student scholarship and member grants. For scholarship information, please click here.
Member Grants are generally up to $500 in value and can be used by members to pay for any aspect of further education during the year.
Money for the member grant and scholarship programs is raised from the proceeds of a silent auction held during the WJA's Awards for Excellence celebration as well as from generous contributions from companies and individuals who support WJA's mission. Several chapters around the country add to the member grant fund as a result of their own local fundraising efforts so that more of their members can benefit from an educational grant.
