2022 SHRAB Professional Development Scholarship
The North Carolina State Historical Records Advisory Board is offering ten professional development scholarships each year to assist archival stewards in attending conferences or other training sessions related to collections preservation and access.
Awards will be made in an amount up to $100 per recipient per year to reimburse the cost of registration and/or travel (reimbursable at state travel rates) to the event. This is a reimbursable award—applicants must first submit the application form and receive official notification that they are a scholarship recipient. Following the training, recipients must submit the required documentation for reimbursement.
This opportunity is made possible with funds from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
