The Code4Lib Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce the Code4Lib 2019 Conference Scholarship awardees. The scholarship provides up to $1500 per awardee to cover the costs of attending the 2019 Code4Lib conference in San José, February 19-22, 2019 <https://2019.code4lib.org/>. These scholarships were made possible by donations from MIT Libraries, OCLC, Temple University, School of Information Sciences at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, UC San Diego Library, Oregon State University Libraries & Press, LibTech Women and Friends, and generous individuals in the Code4Lib community. Many thanks to all of the donors who made these scholarships possible! The committee received applications from 81 highly qualified candidates this year, and it was a humbling experience to select just twelve recipients. Congratulations to all of the Code4Lib scholarship recipients!

To volunteer, please reply to [log in to unmask] In general, a conference buddy’s goal is to help the scholarship recipient get the most out of the conference. The two of you can decide how best to do that. Some suggestions for volunteer buddies: - attend a meet and greet for Diversity Scholarship awardees - contact the scholarship recipient before the conference - arrange to meet at least once near the beginning of the conference - introduce your buddy around at the reception - join your buddy at a Newcomers Dinner Please don't feel like you have to be a multi-year veteran of Code4Lib to be a conference buddy. If you've attended at least one (or otherwise know the community), you can be a buddy!
