Castle Jurs Family Scholarships

WHAT THIS IS:

Wendell Castle was a pioneer of stack laminated carving and promoting this technique is one of the organization’s core missions. The Castle Jurs Family Scholarships cover full tuition for one student for each of our two stack lamination classes:

Design Techniques and Tools for Stack Lamination, July 11-12, 2026

Stack Lamination Fabrication and Carving, July 13-17, 2026

The classes are taught by Castle’s longtime employee and stack lamination expert Taeyoul Ryu.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE:

These scholarships aim to provide opportunities to communities who have been traditionally underserved in the woodworking world, such as women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ people. (We are unfortunately not able to accommodate people with disabilities at this time.) Preference is given to applicants from the Rochester, NY area but we encourage people from anywhere to apply.
