Oregon State University and the Digital Library Federation are
sponsoring five scholarships to promote gender and cultural diversity.
Each scholarship will provide up to $1,000 to cover travel costs and
conference fees for one qualified attendee to attend the 2012 Code4Lib
Conference, which will be held in Seattle, Washington, from Monday,
February 6 through Thursday, February 9. The Code4Lib scholarship
committee will award two scholarships per category, awarding the
remaining scholarship to the best remaining candidate in either
category.  The Code4Lib scholarship committee will award these
scholarships based on merit and need.
 
ELIGIBILITY
Applicants, if eligible, may apply for both scholarships, but no
applicant will receive more than one scholarship. Past winners of either
scholarship are not eligible for either scholarship. Scholarship
recipients will be required to write a short trip report to be submitted
to the scholarships committee by March 16, 2012.
