PLA’s scholarship program, PLA Leadership Fellows, offered in 2009 and 2010, provided PLA members who are public library managers a chance to attend executive leadership training at some of the best universities in the United States.

Currently we are evaluating scholarship opportunities for our members to ensure that we can offer the most relevant and meaningful leadership education in 2012. If you would like updates on the Leadership Fellows Scholarship Program, email your name and contact information to pla@ala.org. We’ll make sure you receive an update as soon as details become available. Be sure to check out additional professional development resources from PLA.
