LaVelle Ure Scholarship Fund
The Santa Barbara Fiber Arts Guild is a not-for-profit organization that sponsors lectures and workshops on weaving and related fiber arts. The LaVelle Ure Memorial Educational Grant Fund was established in 2004 to honor LaVelle’s contributions to the world of fiber arts by supporting further education of other fiber artists and crafts persons. The awards are educational grants for short-term or in-depth continuing education in those fields. The Education Grant Fund is supported by donations, and from the proceeds of the Fiber Frenzy held in the Fall in odd numbered years. Dowload application
