Evelyn Baxter Scholarship

Dr Evelyn Baxter, from St Andrews, was Fife Federation Chairman on 3 separate occasions during the period 1925-1943. She was particularly interested in crafts and wished to keep their identity and popularity. To ensure their excellence, she wished that every year a different craft would be expertly taught to two scholars, who would, in return, teach Federation members that craft during the following year. A Fund was therefore established.

Each year two Evelyn Baxter Scholars are sponsored to study a specified craft in detail with a view to teaching members throughout Scotland. The scholars attend a course on the craft in the spring of the first year and then, having studied further and prepared teaching material, take classes in the Federations in the second year.
