Let the New England chapter help defray the costs of attending the conference. To be considered for the $1000 award please see eligibility requirements and complete the application form by February 28th EXTENDED to March 14th and now open to new members as well!


Students of New England! Please consider applying for the Elmar W. Seibel Scholarship. This $500 award is open to students enrolled in New England library and information science programs with an interest in art librarianship, visual resources, or cultural heritage. Additional details can be found here, application deadline is April 29th.

Note: in response to the pandemic, we are expanding the criteria to include those either currently living in New England while enrolled or accepted into an ALA-accredited school of library and information science or those temporarily living elsewhere but currently enrolled or accepted into an accredited LIS program in New England.

We welcome applications from students whose identity, experiences, scholarship, and/or service have prepared them to contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion in our Chapter and the profession.
