Hello all,
This is a reminder that three deadlines are approaching for the WE 
LEARN Women & Literacy Conference, March 11-12, 2005.

All deadlines are January 31, 2005 -- and they cannot be extended.

1) ABE Student Scholarships & Program grants to encourge ABE student 
attendance

We are making a strong effort to encourage the participation of ABE 
students. We have some funding  available through contributions made to 
the Elizabeth Morrish Memorial Student Scholarship Fund. Students may 
apply themselves directly. The application form is downloadable at 
http://www.litwomen.org/conferences/2005/ABEscholarship.rtf

WE LEARN also encourages programs to bring groups of students. WE LEARN 
will provide up to 5 ABE student registrations for programs to bring 
groups of students -- first come, first served basis. Programs are 
asked to match the number (though not required) and will be responsible 
for transportation expenses as well as teacher/administrator 
registration. To receive an application, please send an email to 
welearn at litwomen.org or call 401-383-4374.


2) Work exchange for conference registrations fees -- for grad 
students, volunteers (including VISTA, etc.), part-time teachers
