RTP, NC, December 23, 2021 – The AATCC Foundation scholarship and fellowship application is now open for the 2022-2023 academic year. Undergraduate and graduate students in any textile-related discipline may apply for up to 20 separate scholarships and $100,000 total funding with one simple online form.
