RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. — August 3, 2023 — Local sections are a key component of AATCC’s mission to “connect the global textile community to empower an innovative, informed, and sustainable future.” Local sections bring together those interested in textiles and living or working in a particular geographic area. They also offer support to students with an interest in textiles. Some chapters sponsor students to attend local meetings or the annual AATCC Textile Discovery Summit. Other sections award scholarships through AATCC.
In addition to direct funding for tuition, all Foundation scholars receive free registration for the AATCC Textile Discovery Summit in September and one year of complimentary AATCC membership to help them connect with industry professionals and launch a career in textiles. To support future generations of textile scholars and help empower an informed future, donate to the AATCC Foundation at www.aatcc.org/foundation/#donate.
Students, the application for 2024-2025 scholarships opens November 1. The application for research support grants is open now through October 15! Visit www.aatcc.org/foundation/#grants for more information about funding for your undergraduate or graduate research.
