Lake Placid First Time Conference Stipend

[Previously known as the Dewey Fellowship]

Purpose

To encourage future librarians to attend NYLA’s Annual Conference by providing registration to all non-ticketed events and up to $500 for travel and lodging which includes a one-year NYLA student membership. The NYLA Awards Committee has the goal to award 1 student per school, but if there is a year in which we have a lower amount of names submitted, we may be able to award more than one student per library school. This will be determined by year and will be communicated with the deans. 

Criteria 

• Each dean will be responsible for disseminating the information of the award application to their respective School of Information Science 
• Students that submit an application must be attending the NYLA Annual Conference for the first time.

Recognition

•    Stipend includes registration to all non-ticketed events and up to $500 for travel and lodging as well as a one-year NYLA student membership.
•    Recipients will be acknowledged on NYLA's website and at the Annual Conference
