Philanthropy sustains the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture, a two-year M.A. jointly offered by the University of Delaware and Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library. Gifts ensure that every admitted student receives full support, including tuition and a living stipend, which keeps access open to talented emerging curators and scholars from all backgrounds. Donor funding also provides the resources that tuition cannot cover, such as specialized technology, conservation and research materials, and travel that connects coursework with collections and communities in the United States and Great Britain.

Your support strengthens an alumni network that leads museums, libraries, preservation organizations, and universities across the country, and it expands the program’s public impact through exhibitions, publications, and community partnerships. When you give, you help the University of Delaware and Winterthur educate the cultural stewards who preserve, interpret, and share America’s stories for everyone.
