Dear colleagues,

 

Thinking about attending VRA33, March 11-14 2015 in the Mile High City of Denver, but unsure how you are going to pay for it? Why not apply for a VRA Travel Award today? The deadline for receipt of applications will beMonday, November 17, 12pm EST.  The list of recipients will be announced on the VRA listserv the week commencing December 15.

 

We are delighted to announce that our friends at Archivision are generously offering a $1,000 award to an international candidate! Read on to find out about some of the other awards on offer this year…

A preliminary conference schedule with a listing of workshops and sessions has already been posted at: http://vra33.sched.org/ and information about costs is posted here:http://www.vraweb.org/conferences/vra33/registration/ and here:http://www.vraweb.org/conferences/vra33/accommodations/

The form is also linked to from VRA News on the VRA homepage.

You do not need to be a member of the VRA to apply for a travel award, but please note that upon winning an award an applicant who is not a member of VRA must purchase a membership.

 

Please also note that award checks are distributed at the conference and as such, recipients will nothave access to those funds ahead of the conference to set against travel expenses.

In order to allow funding to go further, Tansey awards will be distributed according to financial need i.e. full awards (up to $850) may be given to some, whilst lower amounts may be awarded to others with partial institutional/ other support.

For 2015, we are fortunate to have generous financial support from sponsors and funds provided by the membership including:

    * Two New Horizons awards of $850 each.  These awards are aimed at members in the following categories: solo VR professionals, part-time VR  professionals, geographically isolated VR professionals, VR professionals in smaller institutions, and/or first-time attendees
    * A New Horizons student award of $300, for a full-time student enrolled in an accredited degree program and considering a career in visual resources
    * Tansey fund awards ranging from $250 to $850 each

More awards may become available and will be announced on this listserv. Also, stay tuned and watch VRA-L and the VRA website for further details about the conference.  Please email if you have any questions not answered by the documents noted above.

So don't delay - apply today!
 
We look forward to receiving your applications,
