There are no openings at the conference. I tried to apply and was put on a waiting list, and then received a call that I might as well forget it as even if I could go I would be blocked out of many of the sessions.

Please see information below about scholarships to attend the Association of Rural and Small Libraries, ARSL, Annual Conference in Vermont this fall. One of these scholarships is available to a LIS student and others are available to ARSL members in good standing. If you have questions, please contact the ARSL member listed below.
Hello everyone!
It has been a couple weeks since applications for the 2019 ARSL Fall Conference Scholarships, provided by ARSL, opened so I just wanted to send a reminder that it isn’t too late to apply.
These four seats are saved for the scholarship winners so they are not affected by the fact that general registration is full.
Follow this link to the ARSL website to get to the applications:
https://arsl.info/2019-conference-news/arsl-scholarships/
Click on the name of the scholarship you are interested in to get to the application form itself. Each has different criteria so make sure you apply for the one(s) that fits you.
These scholarships are for first time attendees so anyone who has NOT previously attended an ARSL conference is invited to apply.
This year, four scholarships will be awarded by ARSL.
- The Dr. Bernard Vavrek scholarship is for current part-time or full-time students taking Library and Information Science classes.
- 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.
- The Angel scholarship is open to current ARSL members who have been working in the library profession for any length of time.
Applications must be submitted by 5:00 pm Central Time on May 24, 2019 to be considered.
If you have any questions about the process or have any trouble with the application form, please do not hesitate to contact me at scholarship@arsl.info.
Thank you!
Shirley Vonderhaar, Chairperson ARSL Scholarship Subcommittee scholarship@arsl.info
