ACRL-Oregon is delighted to announce a unique round of Professional
Development Scholarship awards aimed to support E-Learning opportunities.
Thanks to a matching-fund grant from the State Library of Oregon,
ACRL-Oregon is able to offer multiple awards of up to $175. The E-Learning
Professional Development Scholarship applications are open and we are
currently soliciting applications for the April 24th 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
remote conferences, remote workshops, E-Learning courses, E-Learning
seminars, or other learning opportunities appropriate to the applicant. The
funding priority is registration costs incurred by the applicant.

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