Grants for First-Time Conference Attendees

Each year SCELC awards grants for first-time conference attendance to librarians and staff at SCELC member libraries. Last year, ten recipients were collectively awarded $8,500 from SCELC to cover expenses to attend conferences by our Program and Professional Development Committee (PPDC).

The application process for the 2011–2012 Grant Program has closed.

The 2012–2013 SCELC Conference Grant Program will begin after July 1, 2012.

Should you have any questions, contact us at the SCELC office.
