Library/Information Science graduate students
The WAAL conference can expose you to unfamiliar areas of librarianship and help you start building that all-important professional network.  It also looks great on a resume! Scholarships available to current WLA members or individuals who will join WLA before the start of the WAAL 2020 conference. 
 
Undergraduate students
If you are an undergraduate considering a career in library science, attending the WAAL conference will provide you with a deeper understanding of the profession and connect you with the two MLIS granting programs in Wisconsin.  Undergraduates do NOT need to be a current WLA member to be awarded the scholarship.  Please share this opportunity with your undergraduate student workers.
