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 half of the 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/her professional career, a graduate library school student (by the time of the conference in February 2004) 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. Previous applicants who still qualify are welcome to reapply.
Applicants must submit the following by July 15, 2003:
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 double room rate in Washington, DC is approximately $150 plus tax).
2. A current vita
3. Two letters of support under separate cover (email is acceptable)
