2015 Conference
NEMA Diversity Scholarship
Established to make the annual conference financially accessible for graduate, undergraduate, and community college students from diverse social, economic, racial, or ethnic backgrounds so that they can attend the 2015 NEMA conference to explore the possibility of a career in the museum field.
It helps support travel, lodging and registration for these students at the NEMA Annual Conference. Awards of up to $200 (which covers the $135 conference fee plus $65 towards expenses) are available depending on the availability of funds in any given year. Applicants must register for the entire conference.
Applications for all awards must be submitted by midnight on October 9, 2015. You will receive confirmation of your application via email. All applicants will be considered for all scholarships for which they are eligible. In the event that your application is unsuccessful, you may still register at the early-bird rate at any time before conference.
