Every two years VALA offers up to two Travel Scholarships to enable suitable persons to travel overseas to examine aspects of library automation. Candidates proposing to study newer technologies of potential application in Australia but not yet seen here are most likely to be successful. No formal qualifications are required. Although candidates should be working in library or information related areas, they need not be employed in traditional library environments.

The successful candidates will receive up to AUD $13,000 towards travel, accommodation and living expenses. Successful candidates must complete their study and report in time to present their fidings at next VALA Biennial National Conference.

The VALA web site provides details on all our Travel Scholars.
