WebJunction is excited to announce we are awarding a scholarship for a past workshop participant and a state trainer from our Spanish Language Outreach Program to attend the Diversity Fair at the American Library Association Annual Conference in June. Scholarship applicants will be selected based on the impact of the outreach activities they have implemented to Spanish speakers following their participation in the SLO program. The winners will receive a scholarship to design and present a poster describing their outreach project at the ALA Annual Conference Office for Literacy and Outreach Diversity Fair Poster Session in Anaheim, CA. The deadline to submit applications is April 11, 2008. The winners will have their project featured as a case study on WebJunction.
