• Successful applicants must pay their conference registration before seeking reimbursement from ALLA.

• Successful recipients must attend the specific conference within the calendar year of receiving the award. If the award is not taken up within the time-frame, the funding and registration will be void.

Criteria for Applications

​

In order for the Committee to decide, applicants are expected to submit a detailed application explaining their particular interest in attending the conference of their choice. In awarding a fellowship the Committee may base its decision on a number of factors including:

• The quality of the application, including reference to the conference programme and specific sessions of interest.

• The ability of the applicant to be a good ambassador of ALLA and Australian law librarians through their intent to participate and engage in the ALLA conference.

• Whether, or not, an applicant has received an ALLA (national or state) scholarship or fellowship in recent years. Preference may be given to those who have not benefited from a bursary or fellowship in the past.

​

Fellowship Committee

​

Applications will be considered by the Fellowship Committee:

• The Fellowship Committee will consist of the National Vice President (Committee Chair), and three board members.

• Of the four committee members, the National Vice President will only vote in the event of a tie.
