2019 Code4Lib Scholarship Recipients
The Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce the Code4Lib 2019 Conference Diversity Scholarship awardees. Through the generosity of our sponsors and the Code4lib community we were able to award 11 scholarships to defray costs associated with attending the conference. We received a large number of applications from highly qualified candidates this year, and it was a humbling experience for the committee to select just 11 awardees. Congratulations to all Code4Lib scholarship recipients!
