Young Adult Literature Symposium Stipend

YALSA’s Young Adult Literature Symposium Stipend will enable two qualified recipients to attend the symposium, which will be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Nov. 5-7, 2010

Two stipends up to $1,000 each will be awarded as follows: the first stipend is to be awarded to a library worker who works directly with young adults, with one to ten years' experience; the second is to be awarded to a student enrolled in an ALA-accredited MLS program (you must be a MLS student as of Nov. 5, 2010) with a focus on serving young adults in a library setting. To be considered for either stipend, you must be a personal member of YALSA.

Applications for both stipends must be received in the YALSA office by Jan. 4, 2010, via email to yalsa@ala.org. Download the application instructions and form: students (Word doc) and library workers (Word doc). Incomplete applications will not be accepted. Winners will be notified before or on March 1, 2010.
