Apply For A Continuing Education Grant

METRO is pleased to provide support for employees of our member institutions to attend conferences, classes, or courses of their choosing. Our aim with this grant is to provide assistance for individuals who are seeking to learn new skills but who do not presently have the financial support necessary for doing so from their institution.

Financial assistance in any amount up to $500.00 is available to help defray the costs of registration, housing, and travel. In-person and remote events that are related to the library services profession are eligible.

Funding will be provided on a reimbursement basis. Grants allocated in this round of funding must be used between July 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025. Recipients must send a summary of their experiences, plus an invoice and all receipts, to METRO Library Council within two weeks of the event’s conclusion.

Please apply here by Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

Selected recipients will be notified on or before Monday, June 16, 2025.
