As a U.S. based manufacturer, we here at Oneida Air Systems place great significance on the long tradition of American craftsmanship that has made our country great. As a company we try to uphold these principles and apply them to our products every day - That's why we created the Future Craftsman Scholarship program.
Each year, we give a $1,000 scholarship to an outstanding woodworking student selected by their instructors at North Bennet Street School, RISD, and RIT, to foster and support students who are studying to be the next generation of American Craftsmen. Students are selected based on their skill mastery, their love for their work, and their dedication to the craft as a career path.
Oneida Air Systems is proud to present our Future Craftsmen Scholarship winners for 2020! Check below to learn more or click here to see last year's recipients.
Jared Postma
2020 Scholarship Recipient
Jared Postma is a student at NBSS. He says: "From a young age I have always loved building things. Things ranging from birdhouses to catapults. So when the time came to pick my next phase in life (aka college) I chose NBSS and it has been the best decision of my life. NBSS has helped me hone my skill and has allowed me to become a better craftsman. During my last semester, I hope to take in as much experience and practice as possible."
