Conference Scholarships
We welcome your interest in applying for a scholarship to the American Museum Membership Conference. At no other conference can you learn more about museum membership fundraising through multiple seminars each day all in one destination, and build long-lasting friendships to help you continually throughout the year as you apply what you have learned. We are grateful for the generous support of sponsors which allows us to offer a comprehensive development opportunity to museum professionals working in the area of membership, who, due to financial constraints, would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.
