Dear ARLIS Members,

The Midstates Chapter of ARLIS/NA is excited to announce applications are open for the new, annual Midstates Sponsored Student Membership Award.

Midstates Sponsored Student Membership Award

This award supports a student or recent graduate’s professional development by providing funding for memberships in ARLIS/NA and the Midstates Chapter. Candidates for this award must either be Master's or PhD students enrolled in classes for the upcoming spring semester or recent graduates (within the past academic year). This award is open to anyone currently residing in states within the Midstates Chapter boundaries who are interested in pursuing a career in art librarianship (not limited to those earning library science degrees). For a list of eligible states, please see this page.

The recipient of this award must be able to make a one-year commitment. Over the course of that year, the recipient is expected to:

• join the Chapter’s Mentorship Program as a mentee

• participate in the fall chapter meeting (virtually or in-person, depending on location)

• write a brief report of their experiences for the following year’s spring chapter newsletter

• serve on the selection committee for this award in the next cycle

To apply for this award, please submit a brief letter (500 words) stating how the award will benefit your professional goals, a list of relevant coursework, and a current resume or CV via this Google form. 

Applications are due by February 12th, 2023 at midnight CST, and questions can be directed to Becca Pad at [log in to unmask]. 

Sincerely,

Midstates 2023 Awards Committee
