Castle Jurs Family Scholarship
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 Scholarship covers full tuition for the stack lamination weekend workshop and the following week-long class for one student. The classes are taught by Castle's longtime employee and stack lamination expert Taeyoul Ryu. This is a locally-focused scholarship that is open to anyone 21 years and older who resides in the Rochester, NY area.
