The Society of Georgia Archivists each year awards a scholarship
for
attendance at the organization's annual meeting in the fall and for
one
year membership in SGA. The purpose of the scholarship is to
enhance
archival education, membership, and participation in the
profession. The
scholarship is named for Larry Gulley, a loyal member
of the Society of
Georgia Archivists who gave stellar service to the
organization in many
capacities.
The scholarship will
cover the following year's membership dues, the
meeting registration
fee, and a maximum of $100 for other expenses. The
registration fee for
the successful scholarship applicant will be waived
by the Society of
Georgia Archivists, while other expense will be
reimbursed upon
submission of a statement of expenses, with accompanying
receipts, by
December 1 of the calendar year in which the meeting
takes
place.
Eligibility:
Individuals eligible to
compete for the scholarships are those engaged in
compensated or
volunteer archival work at any level in an institution in
the state of
Georgia, SGA members employed outside the state of Georgia,
graduate
students preparing for a career in archives at a college or
university
in Georgia, or SGA student members studying outside the state
of
Georgia. Preferences will be given to applicants who do not have
access
to institutional support for attending the fall annual
meeting.
Individuals may apply or be nominated by a supervisor or
instructor.
