volunteers, and library-job seekers in Oregon, who:

   - identify as belonging to one or more marginalized, minoritized, and
   racialized communities seeking general professional development
   *(prioritized)*
   - are looking to develop skills in providing culturally relevant
   services to communities that are historically and currently underserved and
   under-resourced *(prioritized)*
   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

****Scholarships are 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.*
