2. Coco-Miller Travel Grant (formerly SWALL Travel Grants)

Grants go to current members whose institution make little or no contribution to their expenses for attending the SWALL Annual Meeting. Applicants must be current, paid members of SWALL. While financial need is the primary consideration, any ties will be broken by considering a person's activity in SWALL, AALL, etc. No one may receive this grant two years in a row. In 1998, this grant was renamed the Coco-Miller Travel Grant in recognition of Al Coco's and Oscar Miller's contributions to SWALL.
