Margaret A. Willard Memorial Scholarship Application Guidelines

     The Registrars Committee of the American Association of Museums
     (RC-AAM) is sponsoring a scholarship in memory of Margaret A. Willard,
     past chair of the RC-AAM, made possible through the generous donations
     of her friends and colleagues. The award will be given annually until
     the fund is exhausted. The award is not automatic, and may be withheld
     if there are no qualified applicants.

     The award will consist of one scholarship of up to $500 which will be
     given to a Museum Studies student or intern who is focusing on
     registration or collections management, to enable him or her to attend
     a museum related professional meeting or workshop. This includes the
     American Association of Museums Annual Meeting, any regional or state
     museum association annual meeting, and workshops sponsored by these
     groups. Funding for other meetings, including those sponsored by the
     American Law Institute - American Bar Association (ALI-ABA), or AAM
     Council of Affiliates organizations such as the American Association
     for State and Local History (AASLH), or Association for Living
     Historical Farms and Agricultural Museums (ALHFAM) will also be
     considered. In return, the recipient will be required to submit a
     summary report of the meeting or workshop to the RC-AAM for
     publication.

     To qualify for the award, the applicant must have never attended the
     type of professional meeting or workshop for which he or she is
     requesting support. In addition, a qualified applicant must be either
     enrolled in a Museum Studies program (B.A. or M.A.), with a particular
     interest in registration or collections management or currently
     working at least 20 hours per week as an intern (paid or unpaid) in
     registration or collections management in a nonprofit institution in
     the United States. Selection of the award recipient will be based on
     the applicant's present abilities, potential for development, and
     commitment to the profession.

     To apply for the award, complete the form on the reverse and submit it
     along with the following:

     1. Cover letter, indicating which meeting or workshop you plan to
     attend and how it will be of value;
