NWA Annual meeting SAA workshop scholarship
- A completed application form
- A current resume or curriculum vitae
- A brief letter of application. At minimum it should explain how attendance to the workshop will benefit them in their archival career.
Intent:
This scholarship is established to promote the professional development of practicing regional archivists, providing access to SAA workshops offered at NWA's Annual Meeting. In particular, it is intended as a resource for colleagues who are self-employed or receive inadequate employer-provided assistance, but whom wish to advance their skill sets in a particular area of archival management.
Guidelines:
Applicants must be currently engaged in the archival profession, broadly defined, in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho or Montana, and have a minimum of one year FTE paid or unpaid professional experience. Applicants should be members of the Northwest Archivists, but membership to SAA, however, is not required. Priority will be given to applicants who have limited or no access to institutional funding for continuing education activities. Nominations of a third party will not be considered. Members of the NWA Scholarships Committee are ineligible during their term of service and for one year afterward.
Recipients are encouraged to provide a description of the scholarship-related activity, when completed, in the NWA blog.
Selection:
Current members of the Northwest Archivists Scholarships Committee will review applications and select an annual recipient. The application postmark deadline is April 19, 2024 and all applicants will be notified shortly after the due date. The scholarship may be used solely for the registration of the SAA workshop held at the NWA Annual Meeting.
