We are always looking for ways to ensure that participation at Museums and the Web is as diverse as possible. This year – for MW2008 – we've put together a great scholarship program. We're delighted to announce the results!

The Kodak Fellowship will be awarded each year to a student of merit who intends to pursue a career in the field of moving image archiving. The student selected as the Kodak Fellow will receive:

• A $4,000 scholarship for the upcoming academic year. Funds will be sent to the student’s educational institution and credited toward tuition and/or registration fees.
• Complementary registration to the AMIA Conference. Reimbursements and/or a per diem will also be provided to cover travel, hotel accommodations, and other reasonable costs.
• A six-week summer internship at Kodak and other film restoration facilities in Los Angeles. Transportation and housing will be provided at no cost, and the student will be paid an hourly wage to offset other living expenses. See http://www.amianet.org/events/kodak.php

The Department of Canadian Heritage is supporting 16 scholarships for full Museums and the Web conference registration.

Application Procedures
To apply for a scholarship, you must submit the attached MW2008 Canadian Scholarship Application Form. Staff from CHIN member institutions are eligible to apply.

You will be asked to outline your reasons for wanting to come to Museums and the Web 2008, and to explain how your work contributes to the development of museum Web sites. Your application must include the URL of your organization’s Web site and a description of your specific role in the creation of that site. You must be recommended by a superior in your institution (preferably your immediate supervisor), who must confirm the details of your contribution to the cultural or heritage Web site referenced.

Application Review
Scholarships are competitive and will be awarded with attention to the financial needs of recipient institutions.

Successful applicants will be those whose involvement in MW2008 is thought to offer the most value to the applicant, their organization and to others in attendance.
