WAAL Scholarships!

The annual WAAL conference is just around the corner, April 21-24, 2009 at the Heidel House Resort in Green Lake.

Would you or someone you know benefit from attending the conference but find that budgets are just too tight?

Through the Professional Development Committee, WAAL provides scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students as well as paraprofessionals to attend the annual conference. The scholarship covers registration fee, conference meals, hotel room, and mileage costs for those driving themselves to the conference. The scholarship provides an incredible opportunity for individuals to attend a conference they would not likely attend otherwise.

The Committee urges all of you to encourage students and colleagues you think would benefit from attending the conference to apply for one of the 2009 scholarships. Guidelines for the applications can be found at http://www.wla.lib.wi.us/waal/committees/pdcomm.html. Applications are due Monday, March 9, 2009 to Julia Trojanowski, Dexter Library, Northland College, 1411 Ellis Ave., Ashland, WI 54806. Email: jtrojan@northland.edu Fax: 715-682-1693 Ph: 715-682-1302.

Recipients will be selected by the WAAL Professional Development Committee and will be notified by March 23, 2009.
