You can help the next generation of museum leaders—especially persons of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and other underrepresented populations—break into the field, gain experience, and jump-start the career of their dreams.

By supporting the Alliance Scholarship Program, you will be giving rising museum professionals access to the skill-building sessions and invaluable networking opportunities available at the AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo. The knowledge and connections they make there will prepare them for a lifetime of leadership.

Think of the impact on these individuals and the field. For museums to be truly inclusive they must have leadership with diverse perspectives that reflects the communities they serve. The Alliance Scholarship Program creates opportunities for future leaders to become inspired, ambitious, empowered, and confident.

You can help make this a reality and help us advance the careers of these scholars, making museums—and the world—better.
