The Barbara Beckmann Textile Design Scholarship was established in memory of Barbara Beckmann, a longtime member and mentor to new members and students. The scholarship is open to currently enrolled post-secondary students whose emphasis is on textile design. All applicants must have completed four design courses in post-secondary education at the time of application and be majoring in Textile Design or a related field. Applicants must submit three textile design examples, which must include inspiration, process and material details, descriptions, dimensions and both in-process and final drawings. Computer generated and/or hand work may be included. The final drawings are to be in color. Two additional design examples that show the use/application of the original textile designs may also be submitted; these design examples should also include inspiration, process, descriptions and final drawings. Final textile images are encouraged for all examples, and applicants are once again asked to provide color images for all final design drawings. Applicants must also submit a letter of recommendation from an instructor or professor. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the IFDA Educational Foundation for more information.
