Micalizzi Scholarship Grants are available for woodworking students
The Collectors of Rare and Familiar Tools Society of New Jersey is a 501c(7) organization with over 350 members, founded in 1978. We administer a memorial fund created in the honor of the late Dominic Micalizzi, a CRAFTS member and premier woodworker. With this gift provided by the Micalizzi family, CRAFTS seeks to provide aid to young people who are interested in pursuing woodworking, possibly leading to a profession.
