HSNY's Director of Education Steve Eagle and President Nicholas Manousos pose with the 2019 recipients of the Henry B. Fried Scholarship - Nural Amin, Aleksandra Halic & Gerard Connolly.
HSNY is proud to announce that the 2020 Henry B. Fried Scholarship application period is now live.
The Henry B. Fried Scholarship was created in 2017 in honor of Mr. Fried, one of America’s most recognized authorities in the field of horology and a former HSNY President (1954-1955). While most watchmaking schools in the United States are free and tuition is covered by a sponsoring brand, professional watchmaking tools and living expenses are not covered.
Any student who has been accepted to or is currently studying at a full-time watchmaking school in the U.S. is eligible for the Henry B. Fried Scholarship. Prospective students may also apply, with the understanding that the scholarship is contingent on their enrollment at a full-time watchmaking school. Scholarship recipients will be awarded at HSNY's Gala & Charity Auction, taking place in New York City on Wednesday, April 1, 2020. Awards up to $10,000 are available.
To apply, students should email a letter (PDF) to the Trustees of the Horological Society of New York that includes a biography, explanation of their motivation to study watchmaking and an explanation of how this scholarship would benefit the applicant. A resume is required, and reference letters are recommended.
The application deadline is Sunday, March 1, 2020. Don't delay!
