The Georgia Chapter AWI supports
the education of students in the woodworking industry.
Advanced Wood Products Laboratory,
Georgia Tech, GA
– We have in the past given an annual scholarship award to an outstanding
student to help further their education. Last year we awarded a $1,000 cash
scholarship to the SkillsUSA Georgia Cabinet Making contest winner. This
year the Board of Directors (BOD) chose to support the students of Georgia
Tech's Advanced Wood Products Laboratory. Members of the BOD attended the
2008 Senior Studio Project presentations and awarded a $1,000 first place
and a $500 second place cash scholarship award.
BOD members judged the work mostly on design creativity and use of
materials. However, we were all impressed with the quality of woodworking
craftsmanship represented by all of the students. Please follow this
link to view all of the students' work.
