Apply for the Library and Information Science (LIS) Student Award!

If you are a student member of the chapter, please consider applying for the Library and Information Science (LIS) Student Award. This $250 award is designed to encourage LIS students to attend the SC/MLA Annual Meeting by helping to offset registration and travel costs. Two awards will be granted per year.


To apply, email the LIS Student Award application and letter of recommendation (on institutional letterhead) from a LIS instructor or Health Sciences Librarian to, Randall Watts (wattsg@musc.edu) Chair of the Honors & Awards Committee by the September 1st deadline. Applicants must be currently enrolled in an ALA-accredited library school within the region, and be a current member of SC/MLA.

After the Annual Meeting, the awardees will write a brief report about the meeting for publication in the SC/MLA newsletter and blog. Good luck!
