Thanks to the generous support of H-E-B, the Texas Library Association is pleased to offer 20 stipends to cover conference registration and help defray the cost to attend the TLA 2026 Annual Conference in Houston, Texas. Recipients will receive a coupon code to cover their TLA Annual Conference registration (additional ticketed events not included, must be purchased separately) 10 of the stipends will be awarded additional travel money up to $750 to reimburse the cost of hotel and travel. Travel stipend funds will be sent to recipients after the conference ends. The other 10 stipends will be awarded to local student members.
Our goal is to use these funds to support TLA members from all types of libraries working in small institutions with very limited budgets, and those that have been impacted by budget cuts, downsizing and layoffs.
Stipends will be awarded to eligible applicants on a needs basis. All applicants will be notified by December 5th, 2025. For any questions before then, please email us.
Application opens on October 27, 2025.
Application closes on November 30.
Notifications will be sent to stipend recipients on December 5. Conference registration codes will be sent to recipients upon receipt of the signed agreement form. Travel funds will be distributed after conference attendance in March 2026.
