Travel Grant Opportunities

Registration is now open for the joint 2026 OLA/PNLA Conference, which will take place from April 22 to April 24 in Portland, Oregon. If you are interested in attending the conference but require financial assistance, and you are a new or existing PNLA member, you are encouraged to apply for a PNLA travel grant. Five travel grants, each valued at $150, will be awarded to attendees planning to participate in the 2026 conference. Of these, three grants are designated for members who have maintained continuous membership for three or more years, while two grants are reserved for members who have maintained continuous membership for at least one year but no more than two years.

Application Process

To apply for a travel grant, please complete the grant application and email it to the PNLA Grant Committee at debkramerpnla@gmail.com by March 5, 2026. Grant recipients will be notified by March 10th, so they may register for the conference using the early bird discount. The grant funds will be distributed once the recipient has completed and emailed the Travel Grant Report to the PNLA Grant Committee.
