Applications for the 2026 NOTSL Scholarships are now being accepted. The purpose of NOTSL scholarships is to support educational activities in the area of library technical services for applicants at any point in their careers and/or degree programs.

Individual awards will not exceed $1500, and scholarship(s) will be awarded at the discretion of the NOTSL Scholarship Committee. The committee is seeking to grant multiple scholarships this year. The total number of awards granted will depend upon need and number of applicants.
Eligibility:
Applicants must be either:

  *
Currently working in an Ohio library in a professional, paraprofessional, or support position in a technical services area, OR
  *
A student currently taking coursework in librarianship (residing or studying in Ohio).

The content of the proposed educational activity must relate to technical services (i.e. cataloging, serials, acquisitions, preservation, processing or management of technical services). Examples of possible funded educational activities include workshop/conference attendance, costs associated with coursework/training, and professional meeting attendance, but not training required by an employer.

Applicants must specify dates, the nature and the cost of the proposed activity in order for the NOTSL Scholarship Committee to properly determine eligibility and the allocation of funds. Applicants must supply a letter of recommendation from a supervisor, professional colleague, or academic advisor.

Scholarship funds should be spent one year from the date they are received. Once the educational activity is complete, scholarship winners will submit a brief summary of their activities, which will be posted on the NOTSL web page. The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2025, and recipients will receive notification no later than January 31, 2026. For more information and to apply, please use the online application form.<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIGA2Le2zgFvJn6Pp0S-9JWXoM8rv_7KWHQjuqTFESkccExA/viewform?usp=header>
