Supporting the Next Generation...
Every year, talented students from across the United States look to MJSA for help in realizing a shared dream: to have a successful career in designing and making jewelry. And thanks to the MJSA Education Foundation Scholarship Group, we can help to provide some of the financial support they need.
Since 1997, the Education Foundation has awarded more than $280,000 to aspiring jewelers (including $20,000+ donated by the Providence Jewelers Club). All funds are managed by the Rhode Island Foundation on behalf of MJSA.

The MJSA Education Foundation Scholarship Group is administered by the Rhode Island Foundation.
