************************************************
The Fellowship and Opportunity Award Program evolved out of the Amigos Fellowship Program, which was founded in 1990. During its history, the Fellowship Program has awarded over $100,000 to foster professional development. The new program, implemented in 2011, expanded the purposes to include funding that will encourage Amigos member libraries to innovate, cooperate, lead, and educate within their library, their communities, and the library profession.
