For all grants and awards, please note:
- The type, number, and size of ALLUNY grants & awards are determined annually by the ALLUNY Executive Board. In the event there are no applicants for a designated grant, the unused, allocated funds will return to the general treasury at the end of each budget year.
- All applications should be submitted at least two months prior to the registration deadline for the designated meeting, though deadlines may be flexible if necessary. Incomplete applications and those submitted after the deadline will be ineligible for consideration.
- Members of the Grants & Awards Committee will be responsible for awarding all monies. These members, as well as incumbent officers and board members, are ineligible to receive awards during their tenure.
- Grants are non-transferable.
- All funds must be used for the designated meeting. If for any reason a grant cannot be spent as stipulated, or funds subsequently become available from your employer, the grant (or the unused portion thereof) will be returned to the Treasurer of ALLUNY.
Factors considered:
- Lack of financial assistance from employer and/or financial need.
- Current membership in ALLUNY with current year’s dues paid at the time application is made.
- Relevance or expressed interest in the particular subject of the meeting.
- Proven or potential ability of the applicant as well as contributions to ALLUNY and/or the profession of law librarianship.
- Preference will be given but not limited to individuals who have been members of ALLUNY for five years or less as well as to those who are financially unable to attend.
- Priority will be given to those who have not previously received a grant.
