  • 1.  Funding Assistance for ALA Conference?

    Posted Mar 04, 2022 01:08 PM
    Does anybody have any good advice for finding financial assistance to attend the ALA annual conference this summer? I can't seem to find links to any grants that are still current and when I do, their application links are broken. Any advice or leads would be appreciated!

    Check with your state library to see if they have any scholarships or anything. I know NC does.

    Hi Bethie,

    We are working on getting a call out for the Olofson Award, and we also have a Professional Development award that pays for ticketed events at annual conference. You can check out the full list here: https://www.ala.org/rt/nmrt/initiatives/applyforfunds/applyfunds

    Best,
    Dani
