Apply for a SIBA Registration Scholarship to New Voices New Rooms
SIBA is offering 30 registration scholarships of $300 each to support SIBA bookseller attendance at the 2026 New Voices New Rooms (NVNR) in Baltimore, Maryland, August 2-5.
Because this year’s conference is held outside SIBA territory, the registration scholarships equal the cost of a full event pass to NVNR and are intended to help reduce the cost of attendance. Booksellers who have never attended an in-person NVNR conference, store owners seeking to provide professional development opportunities for their employees, and booksellers from bookstores operating under non-traditional business models are especially encouraged to apply. Only one scholarship will be awarded per store.
The registration scholarships are an addition to other existing scholarships and grants for NVNR. The application deadline is April 3. Recipients will be notified by April 17.
