Remember that the NHA is pleased to offer year-round Nantucket residents, between the ages of thirteen and twenty-five, the opportunity to apply for scholarships to be used toward classes in Early-American Arts and Crafts at the NHA’s 1800 House.  Funds are available to underwrite the cost of a limited number of enrollments, and students will be accepted—based on their applications—on a first-come, first-served basis.

This scholarship program provides a wonderful opportunity to learn traditional Nantucket crafts taught by instructors—all of whom are leaders in their fields—from throughout New England as well as Nantucket.  All classes are held in the historic 1800 House, a 200-year-old building owned by the Nantucket Historical Association, located at 4 Mill Street.

For an 1800 House scholarship application or Fall course-listing schedule, call 508-228-7785, or stop by the NHA Administrative Offices, 15 Broad Street.
