[Libs-Or] Apply Now: ACRL-OR Professional Development Scholarship

[ACRLOR Communication]

Looking for a way to pay for OLA-WLA? ACRL-Oregon is delighted to announce
a new round of Professional Development Scholarship awards. Thanks to a
matching-fund grant from the State Library of Oregon, ACRL-Oregon is able
to offer up to $500 for each award for the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
Applications are accepted at three points throughout the year (see below
for specific deadlines); we are currently soliciting applications for the
March 3 deadline. Applications will be reviewed within two weeks after the
application deadline.

How can the scholarship be used?

The ACRL-Oregon Professional Development Scholarship may be used toward
conferences (including, but not limited to, OLA-WLA), workshops, courses,
seminars, or other learning opportunities (including e-learning
opportunities) appropriate to the applicant. The funding priority is
registration and transportation costs incurred by the applicant.

For examples of how past recipients have used their awards, see these posts
