[Libs-Or] OLA EDIA Scholarships

[OLA EDI Antiracism Committee]

Hello! I am reaching out to share…

The OLA Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Antiracism (EDIA) Committee is
offering library-service related professional development scholarships,
made possible in whole by the Institute of Museum and Library Services
through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the State
Library of Oregon.

Applicants need not be OLA members to apply. Please, feel free to share
with colleagues and library workers who do not receive libs-or
notifications.

*These *scholarships are open to library staff (employed, unemployed,
volunteers), in all library types in Oregon: who

- identify as belonging to one or more marginalized, minoritized, and
racialized communities seeking general professional development****,

- are looking to develop skills in providing culturally relevant services
to communities that are historically and currently underserved and
under-resourced****,
OR

- are seeking professional development on, related to or impacting efforts
towards equity, diversity, inclusion and/or antiracism in their libraries
or the communities they serve

*****These applicants will be given priority.*

Comprehensive information, details related to what scholarship funds can
and cannot be used for, and the application to apply are available via this
link: https://www.olaweb.org/ola-edi-antiracism-scholarships.

Applications will be reviewed on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month,
January through June of 2025, by the OLA EDIA Committee with support from
the State Library of Oregon.
