Dator’s Law: “Any useful statement about the future should at first seem ridiculous.”

The applications for the 2021 ARSL Fall Conference Scholarships are now open on the ARSL website. Click here<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arsl.org%2Farsl-scholarships&data=04%7C01%7Clisa.m.shaw%40maine.gov%7Cea77eef0ac8c4abee49308d9157315ca%7C413fa8ab207d4b629bcdea1a8f2f864e%7C0%7C0%7C637564406318292853%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=nqCSYrC1vpGKhWcLy9knPfwvbRQ4EILw4blUeW%2FDU6Q%3D&reserved=0> to get to the application page on the ARSL website and then click the name of the scholarship that interests you to get to the application.
There are three different applications with different eligibility so be sure to read over the criteria before you apply.
These scholarships are for first time attendees ONLY so anyone who has NOT previously attended an ARSL conference is invited to apply. Attendance at the 2020 Virtual Conference does not count as attending for the purpose of this scholarship 😊
This year, five scholarships will be awarded by ARSL. The Dr. Bernard Vavrek scholarship is for current library school students. The Founders scholarship is for current ARSL members who have been working in the library profession for 5 years or less. The Ken Davenport Scholarship is for current ARSL members who have been working in the library profession for 6 to 10 years, and the Angel scholarship is open to current ARSL members who have been working in the library profession for any length of time. Thanks to fundraising efforts, including donations and Trivia night at the annual conference, TWO Angel Scholarships will be awarded for this year’s conference!
Applications must be submitted by 5:00 pm Central Time on May 28 to be considered and winners will be notified on or about July 2, which will be before the Early Bird Registration starts.
If you have any questions about the process or have any trouble with the application form, please do not hesitate to contact me at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
