Eligibility:
Any personal member of OLAC who has never attended an OLAC Conference is eligible for the OLAC Conference Scholarship.

Award Description:
The award amount of up to $1,000 will cover reasonable estimated costs for registration for the conference, preconference if desired, lodging, travel, and meals. The scholarship will be distributed after the conference in the form of a reimbursement, so the award recipient should save receipts.

This report will be published in the OLAC newsletter
