Want to attend a national conference that caters specifically to small and rural libraries, but just can't afford to get to Fargo, ND out of this year's budget? Well, now is the time to apply for one of three ARSL Conference Scholarships! Information regarding eligibility and application forms for the 3 scholarships to ARSL 2016 are now available on the ARSL website<http://arsl.info/annual-conference-awards-calendar/award-scholarship-info-2/>. The conference is October 27-29th at the Holiday Inn- Fargo. Should that link not work, please copy and paste the following into your address bar http://arsl.info/annual-conference-awards-calendar/award-scholarship-info-2/ Scholarships are for first time attendees only and are open to anyone regardless of membership. Many scholarship winners in the past have left the conference knowing that ARSL is definitely for them and have become repeat attendees. We hope that this year's winners feel the same way. Applications must be received by 5:00 pm CST on June 30, 2016 to be considered. And if you have any questions about the process or have any trouble with the application form, please do not hesitate to contact the scholarship committee at scholarship@arsl.info<mailto:scholarship@arsl.info> Good Luck to you!
