CHICAGO
- The American Library Association (ALA) and
EBSCO are partnering to offer five
scholarships for librarians to attend the 2012 ALA
Midwinter Meeting in Dallas. The meeting takes place Jan.
20 - 24, 2012, and offers an opportunity for continuing
education, meetings and interaction with colleagues.
Each EBSCO scholarship will
be in the amount of $1,500, and one of the five
scholarships will be awarded to a first-time conference
attendee. The scholarship money is to be used for
conference registration, travel and expenses.
Deadline for entry is Nov. 1, 2011;
scholarship recipients will be notified no later than Dec.
12, 2011. To apply, candidates must complete the application criteria and submit an
essay that addresses the following topic: “If you could
change anything about your current workplace or job
responsibilities, how would you position them to meet
future needs?” Essays and applications will be judged by a
jury designated by ALA.
