Scholarships include conference registration, travel, workshop or special event registration, and complimentary individual MANY memberships for one year.

Awardees were selected through a competitive application process. Applications were reviewed by a panel that included members of MANY’s board of directors. “With the support of donors like RDL Gardiner Foundation, museum professionals like me and Lindsey are able to travel to Syracuse this April and participate in this wonderful conference alongside nearly 400 other professionals from New York State. We are grateful to participate in professional development opportunities like these that will in turn expand TVHS’ service to our region.” Says Mari Irizarry Director of Three Village Historical Society.
