Contributions to the AALL Scholarship Program enable AALL members to continue their law and
library education. Contributions are an investment in the long-term
development of qualified individuals and the growth of the profession of
law librarianship. Scholarships are awarded in June of each year and
the recipients are announced at the AALL Annual Meeting in July.
