Larry Gulley Scholarship
The Society of Georgia Archivists each year awards a scholarship for
attendance at the organization's annual meeting in the fall and for one year membership in SGA. The purpose of
the scholarship is to enhance archival education, membership, and participation
in the profession. The scholarship is named for Larry Gulley, a loyal member of
the Society of Georgia Archivists who gave stellar service to the organization
in many capacities.
The scholarship will cover the following year's membership dues, the
meeting registration fee, and a maximum of $100 for other expenses
incurred in attending the annual meeting. The registration fee for the
successful scholarship applicant will be waived by the Society of
Georgia Archivists, while other expenses will be reimbursed upon
submission of a statement of expenses, with accompanying receipts, by
December 1 of the calendar year in which the meeting takes place. After
the SGA meeting, the recipient will submit a brief article on the
experience for use in the SGA Newsletter.
Eligibility
Individuals eligible to compete for the scholarships are those engaged in
compensated or volunteer archival work at any level in an institution in the
state of Georgia, SGA members employed outside the state of Georgia, graduate
students preparing for a career in archives at a college or university in
Georgia, or SGA student members studying outside the state of Georgia.
Preferences will be given to applicants who do not have access to institutional
support for attending the fall annual meeting. Individuals may apply or be
nominated by a supervisor or instructor.
