The SC/MLA Honors and Awards Committee is accepting nominations/applications for the Library Information & Science Student Award. This $250 award is designed to encourage LIS students to attend the annual SC/MLA meeting by helping to offset registration and travel costs. Two awards will be granted per year.

In order to apply, please send the following:

• A letter of recommendation (on institutional letterhead) from a LIS instructor 
• A brief paragraph essay answering the question:  “What do you expect to gain professionally and/or personally by attending the SC/MLA annual meeting?" 
• The following application, which can be found here. 

Please send all of the above to the Chair of the Honors & Awards Committee by September 1, 2017.

$250 will be awarded to each recipient after the close of the SC/MLA Annual Meeting.
After the meeting, a brief (250-300 word) report about the meeting will be submitted by the successful applicant(s) and published in the SC/MLA’s newsletter, Southern Expressions.

Good luck!
