Are you part of the preservation community and want to develop your leadership skills and expand your professional impact? Apply for the Harrison Goodall Preservation Fellowship! 

What is the Harrison Goodall Preservation Fellowship? 
Inspired by a gift from Harrison Goodall and made possible by Preservation Maryland, this program aims to develop students and enterprising professionals into the preservation leaders of tomorrow.  

The fellowship awards $10,000 to support an innovative project in the historic preservation field. The Harrison Goodall Preservation Fellowship gives fellows the opportunity to: 
- focus on their professional development within historic preservation, 
- gain access to networking and resources, and 
- learn leadership competencies. 

Fellows undertake capstone projects that, through mentorship and coaching, will make a meaningful contribution to the broader historic preservation field and support the stewardship of historic resources nationwide. 

This opportunity is aimed at preservation professionals, tradespeople, and students enrolled at least part-time in a preservation-related degree program. Federal and non-federal applicants are encouraged to apply.
