President's Conference Scholarship Program
The President’s Conference Scholarship Program was established in order to extend conference privileges to practicing librarians who need financial assistance to enable them to attend an annual ACL conference. The Board of Directors intends to cover conference costs for up to three persons per conference. Individuals must meet the following criteria, to be eligible for participation.

3. Be a first-time attendee at an annual conference. In the event three first-time attendees do not apply for assistance, consideration will be given to applicants who have not attended a conference within the last five years and who could not attend again without assistance.
The FACL/ACL President will make the choices from the pool of applicants no later than March 1st for International applicants and no later than May 1st for USA and Canadian applicant for the current Conference. Preference will be given in the following order:
