Arts Section scholarships offered

First-come, First-served 2008 NCMC Annual Conference Arts Scholarships
Applications Accepted From Now Through February 1, 2008

The Arts Section of the NCMC is offering a limited number of scholarships for the NCMC conference, to be held in Fayetteville March 4-March 7, 2007. For details on the conference, visit www.ncmuseums.org and click on the item in the right-hand column.

Scholarships are open to art museum and gallery professionals across the state and cover the cost of the conference registration, which allows admission to all conference sessions and activities, and also includes all meals from Wednesday evening thru Friday lunch. Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, so get your form in early! The final day is February 1, 2008, corresponding to the Conference Early Bird Deadline. If scholarship funds remain unclaimed after February 1, they will continue to be awarded.

Applicants do not have to be a member of NCMC. Special consideration will be given to professionals from institutions with limited budgets, and/or those having the greatest distance to travel to attend the conference and/or those new to the profession. No more than two people from any museum may receive the scholarship per year. These scholarships are supported by a grant from the North Carolina ArtsCouncil, an agency funded by the State of North Carolina and the National Endowment for the Arts. Please note: staff at museums and other agencies in the Department of Cultural Resources are not eligible for scholarships.

Scholarship applications and information are available online or contact Lisë Swensson, Arts Section Chair, at art@ncmuseums.org. Return the application as soon as possible; preference will be given to applications in the order they are received. Recipients will be notified as soon as they are approved.
