Applications are now being accepted for the Kevin Freeman Travel
Grant. The grant, established in 1994 to honor the memory of Kevin
Freeman and awarded for the first time in 1997, supports travel and
hotel expenses to attend the Music Library Association's annual meeting.
It covers the conference registration fee and a cash award up to $750
for travel and a room (at double-occupancy rate) at the convention
hotel.
The applicant must be a member of the Music Library Association and
either be in the first three years of his or her professional career, a
graduate library school student (by the time of the conference in
February 2002) aspiring to become a music librarian, or a recent
graduate (within one year of degree) of a graduate program in
librarianship seeking a professional position as a music librarian. The
applicant must not have attended an MLA annual meeting prior to applying
for the grant.
Applicants must submit three copies of the following by August 15,
2001:
1. A letter of application with an explanation of the reasons for
attending the MLA annual meeting, a justification of financial need, and
a budget (the room rate in Las Vegas is approximately $110 plus tax,
single or double).
2. A current vita.
