Grants for First-Time Conference Attendees

Each year SCELC awards grants for first-time conference attendance to librarians and staff at SCELC member libraries. For 2009, nine recipients were collectively awarded $7,000 from SCELC to cover expenses to attend conferences by our Program and Professional Development Committee (PPDC).

The application process for the 2010 Grant Program has closed. The PPDC members will review all applications, and applicants will be notified by December 16, 2009.
