Conference Support

Judy R. Cohn Conference Support

Named for a long-time AJL member and Southern California Chapter president (2006–2012), the Judy R. Cohn Conference Support Fund assists AJL members with the expense of attending AJL’s annual conferences. Support is based on financial need, weighted toward applicants with involvement in AJL.

Support for European Members

Dedicated funds are available to support conference attendance by European Judaica librarians. Applicants are expected to participate actively in the conference (e.g., presenting, moderating) and will be asked to report on their conference activities. Applicants seeking support should indicate their eligibility on the application form. Current membership and registration are required.

Eligible applicants only need to submit the application form once to be considered for Judy R. Cohn Conference Support and/or support for European members.

Please note the following dates:

* Applications must be submitted by Thursday, April 20, 2023.

* Applicants will be notified about funding by Monday, May 22, 2023.

* Acceptance and conference registration are required by Thursday, June 1, 2023.

AJL Student Scholarship/Subvention Award

AJL will be providing an academic scholarship in combination with conference subvention to a promising student with a history of participating in Judaic studies or libraries, accepted into or attending an accredited graduate school of library and information science.

Student awardees will receive full conference registration. As such, conference attendance is a component of this award.

The award is merit-based rather than needs-based. The award includes a service component at the conference to benefit the Association of Jewish Libraries to be determined by the awardee and committee. For example, the awardee could volunteer during the conference or write up their experience for the AJL newsletter.

Information on eligibility and application procedures may be found on the Student Scholarship Award page.

* Applications must be submitted by Thursday, April 20, 2023.

* Applicants will be notified about funding by Monday, May 22, 2023.
