Fellowships

We are committed to cultivating and developing leaders across the field by providing access to the professional development resources and networking opportunities offered at the Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo. To ensure these opportunities are available to all Alliance members, we offer support for individuals who are under-represented within the profession or whose participation will benefit the museum community but who do not have the individual or institutional means to attend. There are four types of fellowships:

• Diversity Fellowships are available to people who identify with one or more of the following underrepresented groups: racial/ethnic minority, person with a disability or LGBT.

• Emerging Museum Professional (EMP) Fellowships are available to people who are new to the museum field (within the first ten years of their career) or in a new position within the field.

• Professional Network Fellowships are available to mid-career professionals working in various capacities, including:
  • Audience research & evaluation;
  • Development & membership;
  • Exhibit development & design;
  • Media & technology;
  • Public relations & marketing; and
  • Registrar

• Global Fellowships are available to museum professionals from developing countries through a rigorous, competitive application process that identifies established and emerging museum professionals.
