[Michlib-l] Financial assistance is available to attend Fall Institute for Youth Services and MLA 2020 Virtual Conference - Scholarship apps are due Friday!

[Rachel Ash]

The countdown is on for MLA’s Fall Institute for Youth Services<https://www.milibraries.org/spring-institute>, this October 27, and MLA 2020 Virtual Conference<https://www.milibraries.org/annual-conference>, October 28-29.

We are excited to gather virtually with the Michigan library community next month and we don't want anyone to miss out on the opportunity to attend because of financial reasons.
MLA provides close to $10,000 annually for librarians and support staff at any Michigan library to attend MLA events. There are two specific funds that provide scholarships – the MLA Education Fund and the MLA/MALC Academic Library Fund. Individual members of MLA are eligible for MLA Education Fund and MLA/MALC Academic Library Fund scholarships.
Scholarship applications are due this Friday, September 25. The application forms are very short and simple!
Don't miss out on attending MLA 2020 Virtual Conference or Fall Institute for Youth Services! If you need financial support to attend, learn more and apply online: https://www.milibraries.org/scholarships-2

Continuing education stipends are also available through the Library of Michigan Library Continuing Education Program. (Our thanks to Karren Reish for this info!)
