Financial Aid Overview

The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) is dedicated to supporting the next generation of watchmakers through scholarships and awards. These programs are designed to lower financial barriers for students pursuing careers in horology, ensuring that talent can thrive regardless of circumstance.

Scholarships and awards are made possible through the generosity of HSNY members, donors, and sponsors who share a commitment to advancing horological education. Through these efforts, HSNY ensures that talented individuals are empowered to pursue careers in watchmaking and related disciplines.

Scholarship and award applications are accepted starting in January of each year, and awarded at our annual gala in March.
