Hello,
I'm writing on behalf of the Midwest Archives Conference's (MAC) Motley Scholarship Committee. We are currently seeking applications for the 2024 Archie Motley Memorial Scholarship for Students of Color. I was wondering if you might be able to share this announcement with students at your institution who are currently enrolled or accepted in a graduate program in archival administration, or a related area? Details are as follows:
Archie Motley Memorial Scholarship Applications Solicited
MAC is soliciting applications for the 2024 Archie Motley Memorial Scholarship for Students of Color (http://www.midwestarchives.org/motley). The scholarship is designed to provide financial assistance to students of color pursuing graduate education in archival administration and to encourage ethnic diversification of the MAC membership and of the archival profession. Two $1,500 scholarships, accompanied by one-year memberships to MAC, will be awarded.

If the program is not listed in the SAA Directory of Archival Education, http://www2.archivists.org/dae, the applicant must provide proof of the multicourse standard by submitting copies of course descriptions from the institution’s current departmental catalog.

Miami University is located within the traditional homelands of the Myaamia and Shawnee people, who along with other indigenous groups ceded these lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The Miami people, whose name our university carries, were forcibly removed from these homelands in 1846.
