Dear Texas-based colleagues,
Please see the exciting opportunity below.
2022 TMLA Travel Grant: Call for applications
The Texas Chapter of the Music Library Association (TMLA) invites you to apply for a travel grant to attend our 2022 Fall Meeting, which will be at Baylor University in Waco on November 4-5, 2022.
This grant is open to TMLA members and library staff working at a Texas library, and to students enrolled in a Texas library/information science program. Applications from outside the state of Texas will be considered, provided they are accompanied by a letter of recommendation from a TMLA member who either resides in Texas or in the same state as the applicant. Applicants need not be members of TMLA at the time of application, but must agree to join the chapter upon receiving the award. This award covers travel expenses up to $300.
Application materials should be submitted via email as PDFs to Blaine Brubaker, TMLA Vice-chair/Chair-elect, at Blaine.Brubaker@unt.edu. Please include the following:
1. A letter of application that includes:
- Your reasons for attending the TMLA Annual Meeting and why you are a good candidate for this grant.
- A justification of financial need.
- A brief budget for travel costs to attend the TMLA Annual Meeting.
- Information about any other grants, matching funds, or institutional support that you may also receive to cover the costs to attend.
2. A current vita or resume.
The deadline for the receipt of applications is October 14, 2022. The TMLA Executive Committee will notify applicants by October 26, 2022, and announce the awards on TMLA-L and MLA-L immediately thereafter.
Sincerely,
Blaine, on behalf of the TMLA Executive Committee
