As a part of our IMLS funding, we have been able to offer 14 scholarships for current participants to attend conferences related to their library work and their work in the D4L program. The scholarships range from $250-$1000, and were awarded to participants in both Cohort 1 and Cohort 2. We’re very pleased to announce our scholarship recipients! The list of recipients follows, followed by the name of the conference they will attend. All recipients will be reporting back, providing guest posts for this blog to share their experiences so everyone in the program (and beyond) can benefit from their experience. Congratulations to all!
