Posted April 4, 2014
Apply for the MSLA-SIG Scholarship to attend MassCUE/M.A.S.S. Fall Conference: “Confidence to Create” at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA–October 22 and 23, 2014
Scholarship includes:
Free student member admission for two students and the cost of mileage. The mileage will be reimbursed through the LISSA Reimbursement program. Please follow this link for further information: http://gslis.simmons.edu/blogs/lissa/.
In order to receive the scholarship, you must turn in an application answering the following questions:
- What makes you the right candidate for this scholarship?
- How do you believe you will be able to use the conference experience to further your career?
- How would you give back to MSLA-SIG if you were to attend?
If you are chosen to receive this scholarship, you will be one of the presenters at the MSLA-SIG conference next year. You will be asked to present on what you learned and/or what it was like to attend a professional conference.
*Students will be responsible for payment of anything additional, such as food.
**Mileage is going to be covered through LISSA’s reimbursement program. Each semester, LISSA reimburses students up to $300 for attendance at professional conferences. The recipients will be responsible for paying for their own travel cost and then filling out a reimbursement form. If the travel cost is more than $300, the recipients will be responsible for paying the balance. It is very important that you file for a reimbursement. Please follow this link for further information: http://gslis.simmons.edu/blogs/lissa/.
***Since travel is covered through LISSA’s reimbursement program, students are only eligible for this award if they will be a current student in the fall 2014 semester. If a student is graduating before fall 2014 and would like to apply, they are only eligible if they are willing to pay for their own travel. If this is the case, the student must indicate this on their application.
****As a recipient of this generous award, the recipients are expected to attend all conference events.
***** Students who receive this award will be expected to present at the Simmons MSLA-SIG Conference.
