This scholarship award is the highest honor awarded to a GSQA member. The purpose of the scholarship is to recognize those GSQA members who fulfill the qualities of an active and passionate quilter. It reflects volunteer services to GSQA, the local guild, other quilting organizations, and that benefit the community. It indicates active participation in quilting, as well as stimulating and encouraging others in all things relating to quilts and quilt making. The scholarship is awarded every year with the winner in the "even" year using it at the following year's seminar. Therefore, there will be two Marion Maerke Scholarship Winners at every Seminar since it is only held in odd numbered years. |
