Description

The George A. Strait Minority Scholarship and Fellowship honors the memory of longtime AALL member, and distinguished law librarian, George A. Strait. The endowment was established by Thomson Reuters in partnership with AALL. Applicants must be enrolled in an ALA accredited library graduate school program; or law school in the U.S. They must intend to pursue a career in law librarianship. Each fellow will complete a work syllabus or journal of their fellowship experience at a law library. The host institution will confirm the fellow's participation and the completion of the fellowship. The information of their experiential learning would be submitted to the Strait Fellows Committee for approval before the final installment of the stipend award is distributed. Each fellow may select a host from the list of possible participating institutions or may make arrangements with any other law library in the U.S. or Canada. Two letters of recommendation from those who have knowledge of the applicant's abilities and experience must be submitted. Applicants must also submit their most recent transcript.
