I am one of those many poor students who is looking to get into a
graduate museum studies programme and is definitely in need of financial
assistance to pursue that education.  There is still much about graduate
school that I do not know how to properly pursue, so I am seeking advice
and guidance on several topics.  I am primarily seeking a good general
museum studies programme, but I am interested especially in
administration, publication design and in conservation.  Currently, I do a
good bit of research and writing, facilities planning for a new
museum/education centre, and supporting activities for that new
institution.  In many ways, I have "progressed" beyond the beginner stage
while pursuing research, facilities planning, and other activities.  I
was among the first participants in the National Museum of the American
Indian's Museum Studies Institute.
 
I am definitely open as to location as long as the financial support to
sustain that endeavour can go with that education activity.
 
Thank you
Dave
