MIDWEST ARCHIVES CONFERENCE SOLICITS SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS

The Midwest Archives Conference (MAC) is soliciting applications for its
annual MAC Scholarship for Minority Students in Archival Administration.
The scholarship is designed to provide financial assistance to minority

Conference and of the archival profession as a whole.  Two $750

of African, American Indian, Asian or Pacific Islander, or Latino descent,
currently enrolled in or accepted into, a graduate, multi-course program in
archival administration and must have a grade point average of at least 3.0
(on a 4.0 scale) in his/her academic program.  If the program is not listed
in the SAA Directory of Archival Education
(http://www.archivists.org/prof-education/edd-index.asp), the applicant
must provide proof of the multi-course standard by submitting copies of
course descriptions from the institution's current departmental catalog.
Applicants are not required to be residents of or to attend school in the
Midwest region.
