Applicants will be evaluated and selected by the MAAM Awards Committee. Fellowship recipients will be notified by email by the end of September.
Selected fellows receive:
- Complimentary registration to the MAAM Annual Conference
- A $150 stipend
- One (1) year of Individual MAAM membership
- At this time, MAAM is unable to cover travel expenses or accommodations.
- Application Deadline: September 11, 2026
