Scholarships provide increased opportunities for members of the academic and research library community to expand their professional horizons, update their skills and knowledge, and stay current on recent developments and challenges in the profession. As part of its commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, ACRL invites you to give to the ACRL Friends Fund to help directly impact these efforts.

Award
Scholarships are funded by a combination of generous contributions from ACRL donors and budgeted funds. Scholarships include a waiver of the conference registration fee (a $259– $549 value depending on registration type) plus a travel stipend (typically $600, occasionally less if travel expenses are lower due to applicant’s location).
