Scholarships

Background

The Scholarship Program, sponsored by the Mountain-Plains Museums Association (MPMA), state associations, industry partners, private donors, and annual auction proceeds, provides financial assistance to those studying and/or working in the MPMA’s 10-state region, so that they may attend the annual conference.

* Student: A graduate student (or an undergraduate of exceptional quality and initiative) currently enrolled in an Art, Art History, Anthropology, Museum Studies, History, or equivalent program.

Scholarships include a $400 cash award, basic conference registration, and a complimentary one-year basic or student MPMA membership.
