The Questers support of education- Scholarship and Fellowship

Education is a major advocacy for Questers. Through member donations, THE QUESTERS organization annually funds a $50,000 Scholarship to a graduate student earning a Master of Science Degree in  Preservation and Restoration at Columbia University and  a $60,000 Fellowship to a graduate student earning a Master of Science Degree in Art Conservation at the University of Delaware/Winterthur. After the candidates are accepted into the respective programs, resumes and application forms are sent to International Executive Board for the final selection.
To date, 43 Scholars and 10 Fellows have received funding through THE QUESTERS, reaching a total of over one million dollars in awards.  



THE QUESTERS SUPPORT OF EDUCATION - STATE MEETINGS, SEMINARS AT INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS AND PROGRAMS AT LOCAL CHAPTERS
The highlight of State Meetings are the mini lyceums.  These programs introduce us to a variety of subjects from “Chicken Feed Linens” to “Fore-Edge Painting on Book Edges.”   Educational seminars are also a major part of the International Conventions. At chapter meetings, the focus is on programs that vary from collections of members, a knowledgeable guest speaker, or a tour of a local historical landmark.
