We are delighted to announce that applications for the 2024 NISO Plus Scholarship Awards are now open! Join us in celebrating the fifth anniversary of the NISO Plus Conference by applying to be a member of the 2024 cohort, or by encouraging a friend or colleague to apply.
The NISO Plus Scholarship Award is granted to emerging and mid-career professionals who believe their perspectives are underrepresented in libraries or publishing and service provider organizations. We look forward to recognizing applicants who want to learn, network, and share their unique perspectives and ideas as we explore and identify solutions to the challenges facing scholarly communications.
This program is an important part of NISO’s strategic goal to support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the community. We are committed to providing opportunities for information students and professionals from the widest possible range of backgrounds to participate actively in our work and in the wider information ecosystem.
