SDALL sponsors the SDALL Awards of Merit which recognize outstanding contributions to adult education programs in South Dakota and the Hovland Development Fund Award for activities that increase the knowledge or effectiveness of adult education in South Dakota. SDALL is honored to partner with the West River Foundation which sponsors monetary awards for the award winners.
