IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS:
- Please note application deadlines for each opportunity.
-
This is a competitive scholarship opportunity. We will award scholarships based on:
-
Financial need
-
Depending on demand, first time attendance and individuals/libraries who have not received a scholarship in the recent past will be given priority
-
Answer to how the opportunity will benefit the individual, library, and community
-
-
Winnefox will reimburse the library or individual for expenses up to the total value of the scholarship after the event. Any expenses beyond the scholarship amount are the responsibility of the individual library.
-
Please note, if an individual receives personal reimbursement for the expense they will need to fill out a W-9 form. If reimbursement in one calendar year to a single individual totals more than $600, income from the scholarship is taxable.
