Christopher J. Hoy Scholarship
About the Christopher J. Hoy Scholarship
The Christopher J. Hoy Scholarship is an annual scholarship consisting of $5,000 to a U.S./Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is pursuing an MLS in an ALA-accredited program.
Named for a long time ALA staff member, Chris Hoy who was director of the ALA Conference Services Office for over 20 years. This was established with donations from the Christopher J. Hoy family and the Exhibits Round Table (ERT) to honor his memory. It is still supported through a silent auction at the ALA Annual Conference each June.
