The AAM Annual Meeting Scholarship is a professional growth opportunity that provides financial support for US based students and museum professionals at any stage of their career to attend the AAM Annual Meeting and Museum Expo. The program is designed to nurture greater inclusivity-for the benefit of museums, museum professionals, and the diverse audiences they serve-by supporting the professional development of individuals from underrepresented or marginalized groups.
AAM Annual Meeting Scholarship applications are encouraged from individuals (AAM members or non-members) who identify as underrepresented or otherwise marginalized, including but not limited to: persons of color, Hispanic/Lanitx American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian; LGBTQ; and persons with a physical, cognitive, or developmental disability.
Scholarship recipients attend the entire AAM Annual Meeting, including specific professional development and networking events accompanying the award, and may be designated a mentor from within their area of focus.
