TRAVEL ASSISTANCE
**Application deadline: TBD**
Travel Assistance is intended to assist member librarians with basic economy transportation costs only (not additional add-ons), as well as up to 2 nights in a conference designated hotel not with food, fees, or miscellaneous expenses. Stays in non-designated hotels, hostels, or vacation rentals will not be reimbursed. This is important for meeting minimum room requirements laid out in MOLA's arrangements with the conference designated hotel(s). In the event that conference designated hotel room allotments are fully booked, other options of equivalent cost may be considered.

Eligibility Requirements: Member librarians who were not awarded Travel Assistance funding in the previous year are eligible to apply. Member librarians are expected to seek funding from their organization first, before applying for any needed additional assistance from MOLA. As guidelines in the decision-making process, the committee will consider factors such as the applicant's personal or professional circumstances, degree of hardship, and history of past Travel Assistance awards. Except in unusual circumstances, no applicant shall be granted funding in two consecutive years.

After the submission deadline has passed, all Travel Assistance applications will be reviewed at once by the Finance Committee and awards will be submitted to the Board for final approval. Recipients must submit receipts for expenses incurred to MOLA within 45 days of your purchase for reimbursement. This allows our organization to act in accordance with IRS rules. Any receipts received after that date cannot be reimbursed.

FIRST-TIME ATTENDEE AWARDS
**Applications will be reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis as they are received until all budgeted awards are distributed.**
The purpose of the first-time conference attendee scholarship is to encourage conference participation by MOLA member librarians who have never attended the annual conference. Recipients will be required to participate in the Conference Mentoring Program and to write: a brief summary of a conference session or an article about their experience attending the conference and participating in the Mentoring program (for potential publication in Marcato, in collaboration with the Marcato Editor-in-Chief), to be used on the website, and for future programmatic promotion or fundraising opportunities. Applications will be reviewed and, if granted, funds will be awarded on a first-come first-served basis until the allotted funds are exhausted. Applicants will be notified as soon as possible as awards are granted; please refrain from making conference registration payment until you have been notified of the outcome of your application review. Applications will be reviewed by the Membership Committee and submitted to the Board for final approval. Applicants for the First-Time Attendee Award are also eligible to apply for Travel Assistance.
