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 sessions each day all in one destination, and build long-lasting friendships to help you continually throughout your career as you apply what you have learned and continue to grow your network. We are grateful for the generous support of sponsors which allows us to offer a comprehensive development opportunity to membership professionals working in visitor-serving and cultural organizations, who, due to financial constraints, would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.
