The Association of Western States Folklorists (AWSF) invites applicants for its scholarship entitled The Bea Roeder Fund: For the Future of Public Folklore in the West.
This fund, named in honor of the late Western folklorist Bea Roeder, provides support for graduate and undergraduate students and community scholars with demonstrated interest in a career in public folklore in the American West, to attend the annual AWSF meeting. AWSF has established this Fund as a way to celebrate Bea¹s life and work and to create opportunities for networking and professional development for a new generation of public folklorists and cultural workers. The fund is administered by the Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA) on behalf of AWSF.
The fund will provide the recipient(s) up to $400 to be used to attend the annual AWSF conference, to be held in Cheyenne, Wyoming, from April 15-18, 2012. Applications are available on the AWSF blog (www.awsf.wordpress.com), and will soon be available on the ACTA website.
Applications need to be postmarked or emailed by February 23, 2012. To learn more about AWSF, see http://awsf.wordpress.com/. For more information about the scholarship, please contact Nelda Ault at neldarenae@gmail.com or 435-792-0324.
