Spontaneous Scholarships for SAA 2015 – Still time to donate or apply!

Kate Theimer over at ArchivesNext has been coordinating the Spontaneous Scholarship program: she’s raised over $30,000 over the last four years, and is working on year five now! This is a way for archivists to help other archivists through crowdfunding. The SAA annual meeting can be very expensive, and your generous donation can help your colleagues and soon-to-be-colleagues attend the meeting.

If you have the resources and inclination, please consider donating to this scholarship fund.

If you need a little financial help to attend the SAA Annual Meeting in Cleveland, you can find instructions for applying for a spontaneous scholarship here.
