Notice from Dan Martin, Chair of the AALL Scholarships Committee
Do you know anyone who might benefit from an AALL scholarship? The
scholarship applications are now available from AALL Headquarters in
Chicago. These forms are available a full month earlier this year than in
previous years. Our committee felt that applicants could probably make
good use of the holidays to gather the necessary information
and contact references and transcript offices. The scholarships are
described below:
