Description:
At least every other year the Philadelphia Regional Chapter/MLA will offer an award of $600.00 to an individual pursuing a career in health science librarianship.
The purpose of this award is to foster and encourage library students to pursue educational activities related to health sciences librarianship. These activities may include: formal course work in a degree program; a special program (e.g. workshop); or attending the Medical Library Association Annual Meeting. This award is not intended for books, living expenses, commuting costs or other incidental costs related to the specified course. Grant monies for conference attendance are restricted to conference registration, travel to and from the conference and lodging. This grant will not duplicate any grants or reimbursements from the applicant’s employer, school or other source. The recipient of the Bea Davis Award must use the award in the current or upcoming academic year. Upon completion of the course, special program, or conference, the awardee will submit proof that the terms of the grant have been met (e.g. transcript, CE certificate, receipts). If the recipient has failed to meet these terms, the grant amount must be refunded to the Chapter.
Who may apply:
Individuals who are enrolled in an ALA accredited masters program in Library and Information Sciences and are interested in health science librarianship.
Application:
Applicants must submit a completed form, a published description of the program, a resume, and a letter of recommendation. Send the completed packet of materials to the Nominating Committee Chair by March 23:
