The Outreach Committee of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections
(ARSC) posts the following message.

--- ARSC CONFERENCE GRANTS: DEADLINE REMINDER ---

Application Deadline: January 15, 2021

The Association for Recorded Sound Collections is now accepting applications
for ARSC Conference Grants for the 55th Annual Conference, to be held
virtually, May 13-15, 2021.

The grants are designed to:
-- encourage ARSC members and non-members to attend their first ARSC
conference
-- reach out to college students and professionals in the early stages of
their careers
-- promote mentoring and professional development opportunities
-- advance scholarly research and publication, and
-- support ARSC members who desire to participate more actively in the
association.

The ARSC Conference Grants Committee will use a portion of the grant funds
to specifically enable BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and
LGBTQIA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex,
Asexual) people to attend their first ARSC conference. Persons who do not
identify as BIPOC or LGBTQIA are encouraged to apply for the Conference
Grants, as well.

Grant recipients are awarded:
-- complimentary registration for the entire ARSC Annual Conference, to be
held online in 2021, and
-- gratis registration for the Pre-Conference Workshops, also to be held
online in 2021.

All applications and supporting materials must be received by January 15,
2021.
