The Library Support Staff Certification (LSSC) Program, a national, voluntary certification program administered by the American Library Association-Allied Profession Association (ALA-APA), is accepting applications for $200 subsidies for program candidates who enroll in and complete LSSC-approved courses. There are 55 subsidies available. Candidates who receive a subsidy award will receive a $200 reimbursement after they pay for and complete an LSSC-approved course.
To apply for a subsidy, candidates must be accepted in the LSSC Program by September 15, 2010. Subsidy recipients must successfully complete one of LSSC’s Approved Courses by April 1, 2011. Application information is available on the LSSC For Candidates page. Candidates must apply for the subsidy by September 15. The LSSC Program staff will select recipients using a random selection process and announce subsidy awards on September 27.
The LSSC Program is partially funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
