STEVE FEINGOLD MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Chicago Industrial Arts & Design Center (CIADC) is committed to making the creative industrial arts accessible to everyone. With the help of a generous gift, the Steve Feingold Memorial Scholarship Program was established in 2019 to help remove the financial obstacle associated with learning to create functional, sculptural, and product-oriented objects with industrial materials, tools and processes.
The Scholarship Program makes need-based scholarships available to anyone enrolling in our Youth Pathways Program -or- Adult-level classes. Awarded scholarships will cover 80% of the cost of tuition for one class. In case of exceptional circumstances, CIADC will consider waiving up to 100% of the tuition.
Steve Feingold was a lifelong learner and craftsman, and understood the benefits gained by working in a shop environment. Steve was a strong proponent of CIADC’s Mission.
