2004 News Division Student Stipend for SLA Annual Conference
Applications are now being accepted for the Special Libraries Association News Division’s Vormelker-Thomas Student Award, the stipend given to a graduate student or December 2003 graduate interested in news librarianship to help defray the cost of attending his/her first Special Libraries Association Annual Conference.
Applying may sound like a lot of work, but the pool of applicants is usually small, so the chances of winning are much, much, much better than winning the lottery. Besides, it’s nothing compared to what someone will gain from attending a professional conference with some financial assistance. Past winners have become important contributors to the field of news librarianship and the News Division.
