The Center for Painted Wall Preservation (pwpcenter.org) invites undergraduate and graduate students, independent scholars, and artisans, whether established or in training, to apply for this scholarship, which aims to develop educational projects that further our mission through documentation, conservation, and preservation—where art, history, craft, and science meet.

Interested parties may apply for an Application Process Summary and Application Form by contacting info@pwpcenter.org with ‘Scholarship Fund’ in the subject line.
