Brenda S. Banks Educational Workshop Scholarship
Starting in 2008, the Society of Georgia Archivists will each year
award a scholarship for attendance at the SGA-sponsored Spring/Summer
Workshop. Past SGA workshops have addressed a variety of themes and
issues faced by archivists and archival institutions, including
electronic records, exhibits, donor relations, digital collections, and
funding. The purpose of the Spring/Summer Workshop and the workshop
scholarship is to enhance archival education.
The registration fee for the successful scholarship applicant will
be waived by the Society of Georgia Archivists. Recipients will be
responsible for any travel fees associated with attending the workshop.
Please note that the scholarship winner is responsible for submitting
their workshop registration form by the registration deadline. After
the workshop, the recipient will submit a brief article on the
experience for use in the SGA Newsletter.
Eligibility
Individuals eligible to compete for the scholarship 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. Preference will be given to applicants
who do not have access to institutional support for attending the SGA
Spring/Summer Workshop. Individuals may apply or be nominated by a
supervisor or instructor.
