The ASTC Lee Kimche McGrath Worldwide Fellowship supports
participation in the ASTC Annual Conference by individuals from science
centers and museums outside the United States. The purpose of the Fellowship
is to foster greater understanding among international colleagues and

in 2004 with a gift from ASTC's first executive director, Lee Kimche
McGrath, who died in 2002.
