AAMF Programs
AAMF's priority is to make fellowships and grants to support programs that promote cultural exchange and understanding, resource sharing, collaboration, or the exchange of cultural knowledge across borders through a "process of trust and sharing" approach.
Fellowships & Grants
Fellowships and grants support innovative research, study, training, artistic exploration, and knowledge exchange.
AAMF will help assist and feed other professional support to awardees for related trips.
This assistance and support will vary depending on the category of the award assistance program and the destination.
These include recommendations for sites and activities to participate in, Networking with professionals in the field and senior academic leaders in the industry, individual visa sponsorship for departure to the United States, and assistance in connecting the recipient with AAMF friends and partners organizations worldwide. In addition, we provide professional advice, feedback, and referrals to appropriate contacts beyond the financial support, so that the relationships established through the cross-cultural exchange can continue beyond the duration of the award.
