VLA Scholarships change lives. They change the lives of those who receive them, and they impact the communities where those recipients become librarians.

Since 1991, VLA has provided 74 scholarships to members of our association. Those members have gone on to positions throughout libraries in Virginia and beyond. They have provided services and programs to innumerable VA residents. We encourage you to scroll through the stories below and get to know our Scholarship Winners.

In 2019, the Past Presidents of VLA came together to fund a scholarship in memory of Commander Alexander C. Varga, the late husband of our Executive Director, Lisa. The Virginia Public Library Directors Association generously contributed $2500 to the VLA Scholarship Fund this year. We are $925 shy of our goal of funding a third scholarship.

This year, the Virginia Library Association was unable to host a conference – and, therefore, a Scholarship Basket Raffle. We are asking for your support for a tax-deductible donation to help us reach our goal.

Special thanks to the following vendors who are supporting our fundraising goals:
