M. Vivian Hubbard Memorial bookmobile Grant |
M. Vivian Hubbard was State President of the Federated Women's Clubs in the early 1950s. The rural bookmobile program originated in North Dakota with much influence from the Federated Women's Clubs. Hubbard believed in this program and requested that memorial funds at her death be donated to NDLA to further interest in bookmobiles. The grant may be used for formal college or university classroom work, independent study, workshops, conferences, or participation in any other activity that will further the work of the bookmobile, including the purchase of books or other materials.
Each year, one awardee may be granted up to $1250.
Current Professional Development Committee members are not eligible to apply for grants. The 2023 Section Chairs are also ineligible to apply for grants, as they will become members of the Committee in January 2024 and will be voting on the grant awardees.
The 2024 grant application period will open on October 9, 2023. Applications will close at 11:59 p.m. on January 7, 2024.
