The AAM Annual Meeting Scholarship is a professional development opportunity that provides financial support for museum professionals and US-based students to attend the AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo. 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.
This year, we are offering 2023 AAM Annual Meeting Scholarships to museum professionals from underrepresented or marginalized communities in addition to scholarships for residents of rural Colorado.
Eligibility:

- Persons of color including members of a federally recognized American Indian nation or Alaska Native corporation
- Persons in the LGBTQ+
- Persons with a physical, cognitive, or developmental disability
Preference may be given to applicants who:
- Are early or mid-career professionals
