Student Scholarships, MER Conference, Chicago, IL

Posted February 21, 2018

The annual National Educational Conference on Managing Electronic Records (MER) Conference www.merconference.com is making scholarships available for students enrolled in graduate level studies in Archives and Records Administration, Library and Information Science or similar degrees. Qualified students are invited to participate in the MER Conference’s Student Scholar Program. 

We believe that fostering engagement across disciplines, industries and experience levels is one of our greatest attributes while also supporting our educational mission. Equipping student scholars with roles and opportunities to interact with practitioners is just one way we help develop important relationships; relationships that often become valuable in the future. It is not uncommon for student scholars to ultimately be hired by companies attending the MER Conference.

The conference is scheduled for May 6-9, 2018 and is held at Chicago’s Marriott Downtown Hotel. The scholarship is valued at $1,945 and includes conference tuition and meals. Student scholars are responsible for their own travel and lodging, however, our coordinator, Michelle Fowler, can assist with finding lodging.
