ANCHASL Scholarship

The ANCHASL Scholarship Committee was established in November 2004 based on recommendations from an ad hoc task force. Its primary mission is to provide opportunities for members of ANCHASL to participate in professional activities. Each year, funds are available to reimburse ANCHASL members for some of their expenses while attending meetings held by ANCHASL, MAC (the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Medical Library Association) and MLA (depending on location).

It will be the goal of the organization to award as many scholarships as possible, within the limits specified by the Board, and to provide each recipient with an award that is generous enough to make applying for a scholarship and attending a meeting worthwhile.

ANCHASL Scholarship Eligibility

To be eligible for an ANCHASL scholarship, you must be a current member of ANCHASL and:

a resident of North Carolina OR employed by a library or information services organization located within the state of North Carolina

if a student, be enrolled in a library and information degree program within the state of North Carolina

If you are not currently (i.e. dues paid for this year) a member of ANCHASL and would like to be eligible for a scholarship, print a copy of the ANCHASL membership form located on this site, then follow the directions on the scholarship application form for submitting your membership dues at the same time.
