LETTERS CALIFORNIA STYLE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR 2026

LETTERS is offering three scholarships for attendees in 2026. The scholarships are intended to reflect the Society's mission statement to promote the study, teaching and practice of calligraphy, letter arts, and related disciplines. The scholarships are not based on a particular level of calligraphic skill and may be awarded to anyone from beginning to advanced skill levels. The applicant should have a basic knowledge of calligraphy. This is not a juried competition and the scholarships are only to go towards the expenses of tuition and supplies. We want to hear about your passion for calligraphy!
