Frank B. Sessa Scholarship for Continuing Professional Education

Beta Phi Mu

Sessa Scholarships are intended to support Beta Phi Mu members in pursuing continuing professional education in LIS, archival studies, or other approved information-related studies. Approved uses include attendance at professional preconference workshops or short courses; continuing education courses offered by accredited LIS programs; and online or face-to-face continuing education workshops and classes sponsored by professional associations and approved continuing education providers. These awards are not intended to support conference attendance or the pursuit of a formal degree, such as a Ph.D. or second Master’s degree. Recipients must use the funds for approved professional development within one year of receiving the award and send a brief report of the funded educational experience to Beta Phi Mu Headquarters within three months of its completion. Recipients must not have received a Sessa scholarship within the last five years and agree to and follow all requirements set out in the Sessa Scholarship Guidelines. Lottery registration for 2019 Sessa Scholarships is now open. Beta Phi Mu members may register once during the lottery registration period.
