[ In 1956 top scholarship award amounts were increased by an increment of $1,000 and ten (10) National Styling Scholarships prizes worth $1,000 each were added for Excellence in Design (e.g., originality of design or high aesthetic appeal). Only first state award winners were eligible for a Regional Award (all-expenses paid trip to the Guild Convention in Detroit valued at $750) which established the top models (20 Junior & 20 Senior) eligible for the top scholarships. 40 Regional award winners attended the 4-day Guild Convention in Detroit in late summer (usually August) and feted by top brass. Contestants did not have to be a Regional Award winner to be eligible for a National Styling Scholarship award. There are many examples of lower state award winners walking off the stage with a National Styling Scholarship. Approximately 130 Styling Scholarships were awarded from 1956 to 1968.]
