RBMS Preconference Scholarships 2002
The Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) of the Association of
College and Research Libraries is offering scholarships to RBMS members
to subsidize first-time attendance at the 43rd annual
preconference: ?New Occasions, New Duties: Changing Roles and
Expectations in Special Collections,? which will be held in Atlanta,
Georgia, June 11-14, 2002.
Three full scholarships of up to $695 each will be granted. Full
scholarships include a waiver of the $195 preconference registration
fee and reimbursement of up to $500 in housing and travel expenses. Six
additional partial scholarships, consisting of a waiver of the $195
preconference registration fee, will also be awarded. To help us assure
the ongoing improvement of the scholarship program, winners will need
to submit a post-conference evaluation letter by the end of July, 2002.
