[Libs-Or] OLA EDIA Professional Development Scholarships

[Dominguez, LaRee]

Hello! I am reaching out to share...

The OLA Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Antiracism (EDIA) Committee is offering library-service-related professional development scholarships, made possible in whole by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the State Library of Oregon.

Applicants need not be OLA members to apply. Please, feel free to share with colleagues and library workers who do not receive libs-or notifications.

These scholarships are open to library staff (employed, unemployed, volunteers), in all library types in Oregon: who

- identify as belonging to one or more marginalized, minoritized, and racialized communities seeking general professional development**,

- are looking to develop skills in providing culturally relevant services to communities that are historically and currently underserved and under-resourced**,
OR

- are seeking professional development on, related to or impacting efforts towards equity, diversity, inclusion and/or antiracism in their libraries or the communities they serve

**These applicants will be given priority.

Comprehensive information, details related to what scholarship funds can and cannot be used for, and the application to apply are available via this link: https://www.olaweb.org/ola-edi-antiracism-scholarships<https://www.olaweb.org/ola-edi-antiracism-scholarships>.

Applications will be reviewed on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month, January through June of 2025, by the OLA EDIA Committee with support from the State Library of Oregon.
