The ANCHASL-ReHI Continuing Education Scholarship award for the MLA 2009 Meeting will total $1325.

The award will be mailed to the recipient in March to fund expenses incurred prior to the meeting. Failure to attend the meeting for any reason will require reimbursement of the award to ANCHASL.

Winners will submit a brief report on their experiences to the Board via the Scholarship Committee chair. A reporting form will be provided to recipients.

The ANCHASL Scholarship Committee was established in November 2004 based on recommendations from an ad hoc task force. Its primary mission is to provide opportunities for members of ANCHASL to participate in professional activities. Each year, funds are available to reimburse ANCHASL members for some of their expenses while attending meetings held by ANCHASL, MAC (the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Medical Library Association) and MLA (depending on location).

It will be the goal of the organization to award as many scholarships as possible, within the limits specified by the Board, and to provide each recipient with an award that is generous enough to make applying for a scholarship and attending a meeting worthwhile.
