Humanities Tennessee (HT) and the Tennessee Association of Museums

(TAM) are pleased to announce our joint scholarship program for the 2025 TAM conference, “Hope,” March 12-14, 2025, in Knoxville, TN.

This initiative stems from our organizations’ commitment to support the work of our museums, to welcome a wide range of narratives/perspectives to our collective understanding of Tennessee’s past, and to deepen our present stewardship on behalf of our future counterparts.

Past conference sessions covered relevant topics such as collections care, exhibition design, and fundraising. The complete program will soon be available at the TAM website.

Scholarships are available for two people from each organization. Each HT scholarship provides a travel stipend up to $250 for recipients outside Knox Co., all meals provided by the conference, conference registration fees, and a one-year organizational membership in TAM. Scholarship recipients will be responsible for their own travel, lodging, incidentals, and pre/post-conference events, if applicable.

The scholarships are available to volunteers without museum related backgrounds who work with a nonprofit museum or organization that is starting a museum. Organizations with paid, professionally trained staff are not eligible. Preference will be given, but not limited, to applicants whose organizations are new to TAM. Interested organizations must submit a simple, online application form to receive

a scholarship.

The deadline for submitting the online application is January 15,

2025.

For questions about HT scholarships or to receive a link to the application form, please contact Melissa Davis at Humanities Tennessee: melissa@humtn.org.
