[Rebecca Belford]

(Apologies for any duplication)

NOTSL and ALAO’s TEDSIG invite applications for two scholarships to support
attendance at the ALAO 2026 annual conference. These awards are intended to
support and encourage technical services staff to attend and/or present at
the 2026 ALAO Annual Conference.

The ALAO & NOTSL Executive Boards have partnered this year to offer two
grants:

   -

   A conference Attendance Grant for registration and travel expenses (up
   to $200); and,
   -

   A conference Presenter Grant for registration and travel expenses (up to
   $200)


Technical services staff currently employed in any Ohio library are
eligible to apply. In addition to registration, monies may be applied to
travel, lodging, and presentation-related expenses.

Apply here by Monday, August 31, 2026

.

For those applying for the Presenter Grant, priority will be given to
applicants with an accepted program or poster proposal for the upcoming
ALAO conference. Co-presenters may apply jointly for the grant, in which
case grant money may be shared amongst the awardees at their discretion.
