LEONARD RENNIE PROFESSIONAL TRAVEL GRANT APPLICATION
The Leonard Rennie Fund was established in 1990 by the Council of American Maritime Museums (CAMM) to support the professional development of CAMM member maritime museum staff, both paid and volunteer. Each year CAMM provides grants associated with participation in conferences, meetings, or workshops that enhance the professional qualifications of CAMM members' staff in the fields of maritime preservation and practice. Grants will support 50% of expenses (not to exceed $750 per applicant). The applicant's institution agrees to fund the balance.
INDIVIDUAL APPLICANTS MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA
Be a staff member, either paid or volunteer, of a full CAMM member museum, or of an affiliate member museum.
Have not received a Leonard Rennie grant within the past two (2) years.
Directors are not excluded, but preference will be given to staff, first time attendees, and full members of CAMM.
In reviewing applications, consideration will be given to financial constraints of the applicant institution and the distance to be traveled.
In instances where more than one application is received from an institution in the same year, only one will be considered for funding, unless sufficient funds remain unallocated after all other applications have been considered.
