Ladies of Letterpress Scholarship

Because we care about preserving the craft of letterpress printing, Ladies of Letterpress has created a scholarship fund to help defray costs for members interested in taking classes, working in internships/apprenticeships, go to conferences, or other educational activities related to letterpress. Through this scholarship, we want to assist members as they continually grow, learn, and educate others about letterpress printing.

Submission Guidelines:

- We only accept submissions from current members of Ladies of Letterpress.

- The class/educational opportunity must already be scheduled (we can’t make assumptions about possible future events).

- The class/educational opportunity must be related to letterpress printing, or running a letterpress printing business.

- Please share your experience with us! The scholarship recipient must report back after completion of the class/educational opportunity with descriptions and photos of the experience, posted on the Ladies of Letterpress site.

- The scholarship is for $300. If the entire amount isn’t needed, remaining $ will go to a 2nd recipient.

- The scholarship recipient will be reimbursed after the expenses have been paid. Please keep a receipt and send us a copy.


Please answer the following questions:

- Tell us the title, teacher, place and date of the class you want to take (or describe the apprenticeship/internship opportunity):

- What is the cost? (tell us if it’s for tuition, housing, travel, etc.)

- How will this class help you with printing or with your printing business? (please describe in 300 words or less).


Send your responses as a pdf file to jessica.c.white@gmail.com by May 15, 2010.
Winner(s) will be announced June 1, 2010.

Feel free to pass this info along to friends, colleagues, schools and community print shops!

Heidelberg Scholarship for Creative Leadership in Print



The days of long letterpress apprenticeships might be far behind us, but I was surprised to see this in my inbox the other day. From the site: "The purpose of the scholarship is to provide accomplished creative professionals the opportunity to develop essential leadership skills required to successfully grow in a dynamic industry." If you're a creative professional first and a printer second, or a printer with a foundation in litho, or some other kind of creative/printer person, this could be a great opportunity. Also, Berlin!
