The Georgia Numismatic Association (GNA) is accepting applications for two scholarships for the 2022 American Numismatic Association Summer Seminar in Colorado Springs. The scholarships are available to both young numismatists (YN), age 13 to 22, and GNA senior numismatists. Completed applications and recommendations must be received by January 16, 2022. Each scholarship covers the minimum “On-Campus Fees” (which includes double occupancy dorm room, board and tuition) for one session plus air travel. Scholarships are awarded on a merit basis. Successful applicants will need to demonstrate their involvement, leadership and accomplishments in numismatics, as well as a desire to learn more about the hobby. Recommendations are also required.
Summer Seminar features a lineup of classes to meet virtually every collector’s educational needs. Class subjects typically include ancients collecting, paper money collecting and grading, counterfeit detection, coin grading, the Civil War exonumia, digital photography of coins, Colonial numismatics, hobo nickels carving, collecting medals and tokens, and more. Students learn from the hobby’s most prominent scholars, rising young stars and successful business leaders. Previous years, over 300 students and instructors ranging in age from 13 to 87 attended Summer Seminar. The two one–week sessions are scheduled June 18-23 & June 25-30 2022.
YN scholarship recipients will attend one week-long class of their choice, will be lodged in a Colorado College dormitory with counselor supervision, and participate in seminar programs and events.
Separate YN and senior scholarship applications are available at www.GaMoney.org (select “scholarship” on the main page) or by contacting the GNA scholarship committee at 423- 653-7908 or by e-mail at .
Scholarships will be awarded by January 31st, and preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate dedication and service to the hobby.
