The Scholarship, named in honor of dedicated HSLI member Syed Maghrabi (1945-2000), supports Health Science Librarians of Illinois (HSLI) members’ participation in the HSLI Conference.

After the Conference, each recipient will write an article for the HSLI Newsletter blog, explaining how she or he plans to apply professionally the knowledge gained at the Conference.
Please fill out the application form and submit to Miranda Shake, HSLI President. More information about previous scholarship recipients, and also on librarian Syed Maghrabi (1945-2000)–after whom the scholarship is named–can be found at the HSLI site.
