Scholarship Opportunities Abound for Aspiring Librarians

Yes, there really is money out there to help library students pursue their education. The American Library Association has just announced that their most recent scholarship cycle has begun. Applications for masters-level librarian and school librarian students are being accepted through March 8, 2011. Scholarships typically range from $1,500 to $7,000. Get more information at www.ala.org/scholarships. And, don’t forget, NLC was awarded a grant this summer from IMLS to provide scholarships to Nebraskans at the associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s levels (both MEd and MLS). Applications will be made available in early 2011. Check in with the Now Hiring @ your library^© site for updates. Other scholarship opportunities are listed at this time.
