Graduate Scholar Awards, 2014 Conference on Books, Publishing and Libraries

Posted March 3, 2014

For each conference, a small number of Graduate Scholar Awards are given to outstanding graduate students who have an active academic interest in the conference area. Graduate Scholars perform a critical role in the conference by chairing the parallel sessions, providing technical assistance in the sessions, participating in Talking Circles, and presenting their own research papers. The Award with its accompanying responsibilities provides a strong professional development opportunity for graduate students at this stage in their academic careers. Meeting experts in the field, interacting with colleagues from other parts of the world, and creating networks and friendships are all additional benefits of this Award.

Graduate Scholars are entitled to free registration and are given special recognition during the conference proceedings. Awardees must be available on-site the day prior to the conference (for orientation and training) and throughout the entirety of the conference.

The application deadline to apply for the 2014 Graduate Scholar Award is 25 August 2014. To apply, please click on the link below to download the application form and follow the instructions for submission.
