The RCQG scholarship, established years ago, is now more accessible to Sacramento State students who demonstrate experience in quilt making or have an objective to incorporate quilting techniques, quilting history or quilting theory into their academic/professional goals. Especially, though not exclusively, in the areas of fashion design, art, history, sociology or education.
Open to all class level except for Freshman. Students must be enrolled at least 6 units and have a minimum 2.5 GPA. The board authorized one $750 scholarship a semester to a student who is a quilter or plans to use quilting in an academic or professional setting, i.e. fashion, art, education, etc.
To be considered, students must submit a 1-2 pages essay describing their interest in quilting, quilts made and techniques used. If the student has not made quilts, the essay must describe why their interest in quilting is significant and how it will be pursued in an academic/ professional setting to encourage quilting and/or the appreciation of quilts.
HOW TO APPLY Non-freshmen students are eligible and should check for the Institutional Scholarship Application in the Student Center area of their "My Sac State" account. The yearly application period begins in mid-January for the upcoming Fall/Spring semesters.
