Graduate Students Interested in News Librarianship: Fame and Fortune can be Yours!
The Special Libraries Association News Division and ProQuest offer a $1500 stipend to assist a graduate student or recent graduate attend his/her first SLA conference. This year’s application deadline for the Vormelker-Thomas Student Award is Friday, March 11, 2005. Details about how to apply are linked above.
I know from being on the committee in the past that only about twenty people apply for this award. If you are a graduate student or recent graduate interested in news librarianship and would like some financial assistance toward attending your first SLA conference, I encourage you to apply.

The Business and Finance Division also offers one of these, which I applied for; just waiting for Barbara Arnold to write my letter of recommendation now.
If she doesn’t get it to me by the middle of February, I will begin a campaign of hassling e-mails.
