26 27 NAIBA WI Diversity Scholarship

NAIBA funds a diversity scholarship to ABA's Winter Institute for a staffer from one of our member bookstores. Interested booksellers should email NAIBAeileen@ gmail.com the following: name, email & name of store; number of years in bookselling; diverse-identification. Include a one paragraph essay that discusses: why you want to attend WI; what you bring to your store & the industry; what you hope to gain by attending; number of times you've been to Winter Institute (although this has no impact on the scholarship). Booksellers who have won a scholarship of any kind to Winter Institute in the past three years are ineligible for the NAIBA diversity scholarship, as are booksellers who win any other scholarship to the 2020 Winter Institute. Winner must be from a store that is both a NAIBA and ABA member in good standing.

2019 DEADLINE: OCTOBER 25
