2019 Archival Scholars in Action Event

Call for Applications

The call for applications is promoted to students during the fall semester with applications due in November.  As an awardee, students receive a stipend of $1,000 in recognition of the quality of their project, participate in workshops and training, and present their research at the OUR Celebration of Research.

Together, OUR and ULS will review all applications to determine student eligibility and quality of the student proposals.  OUR sends successful candidates a letter offering the award, which begins during the spring term. The ULS sets up meetings with the ASRA students in the beginning of the spring semester to develop a Learning Agreement, which outlines the goals, training, culminating academic project, and library deliverables.
