Friends of Hubbell Trading Post Scholarship

The Friends of Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, Inc. announce that applications are being accepted for the 2012 annual scholarship for Navajo and Hopi college students. The funds for our scholarships are raised through memberships, activities at Hubbell TPNHS including the Auctions, and other off-site events. The scholarships are established in honor of three weavers (Evelyn Curley, Mary Lee Begay, and Helen Kirk) who spent many years demonstrating their art to people in the Visitor Center. In August of 2011, the Friends group awarded $8,000 in Scholarships.
