In May 2009, the Wyoming Medical Librarians recommended to the Executive Board that their share of the profits from the MCMLA 2008 meeting be used to fund a travel scholarship.  The travel scholarship was to be used to help members who live in rural areas of the region attend the annual meeting.

In June 2016, the Executive Board of MCMLA, with the support of the Wyoming Medical Librarians, voted to make the Professional Travel Scholarship more inclusive and allow all members of MCMLA with a financial need to apply for the award. First preference among applicants is still given to anyone living in a rural area of the region. 

Nominate someone for this award.
