Apply for a Fellowship
Fellowship applications are open until September 22, 2025.
Each year at the Annual Conference, the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums (MAAM) awards between six to ten fellowships for individuals to attend the conference. Our goal is to limit financial barriers to fellowship applicants so they can focus on professional development and networking. To qualify, applicants must be a museum professional, current graduate student, or new to the museum industry. Applicants must be either residing in a state within the MAAM region, attending school in the MAAM region, or currently working within the MAAM region. MAAM’s jurisdiction includes: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and Washington D.C.
Applicants will be evaluated and selected by the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums Awards Committee. Applicants will be notified via email if they have received a fellowship by end of September.

COVID-19 Guidelines
MAAM understands the importance of safety and comfort in attending live networking events, and we want to be transparent in our commitment to providing a safe experience for all attendees. We are following current City of Pittsburgh and CDC COVID-19 protocols.
Out of respect and kindness towards your fellow attendees, and with the new boosters being a much closer match to currently circulating variants than prior vaccines, MAAM strongly recommends that attendees be vaccinated and boosted before attending the Annual Conference.
If you are not feeling well and have any symptoms of COVID-19 please stay home or in your hotel room. Do not attend the Annual Conference until you have tested negative for COVID-19. Masking during the conference is a matter of personal preference.
For more information on public safety, please visit the Allegheny County Health Department. Should state or local guidance change, we will notify attendees ASAP. If you have any questions, please contact MAAM at info@midatlanticmuseums.org.

Reporting
Anyone who experiences or witnesses any violation of MAAM’s Code of Conduct should report the incident to MAAM’s Executive Director or a member of the Board of Directors as soon as possible.
