The Museums Alaska Board of Directors is committed to helping its members to take advantage of attending the Sitka Conference through travel scholarships. This initiative is made possible by generous sponsors and income from last year’s meeting in Valdez.
Applications (including attachments to be e-mailed separately) must be received on or before Friday, July 13, 2012. Scholarship applicants will be notified of awards no later than August 15th.
Please review the application form carefully, and pay special attention to the requirements. When filling out the application, please provide complete budget numbers, and give comprehensive answers to all questions. Awards are made on the basis of demonstrated need and merit. It is a competitive process; neatness, clarity, and concise —yet substantial—answers count!
