Library scholarships are available for professionals and students, with eligibility requirements and responsibilities for the winner. Scholarships are based on merit, references, essays, and other criteria, and can be cash or for a school program, conference, or workplace. Scholarship requirements include scores from national examinations, transcripts, references, and an essay. Professional scholarships can be based on experience, membership, accomplishments, or publications, and may require teaching or giving talks. Some scholarships are very prestigious and offer the title of “Artist in Residence” or “Professor in Residence.”
There are two basic types of library scholarships: scholarships for professionals and scholarships for students. In some cases, the term “scholarship” is used interchangeably with “scholarship” or “scholarship”. Professional and student scholarships have a variety of eligibility requirements and responsibilities for the winner. Sometimes the scholarship award is cash, and sometimes it is a scholarship to a school program, conference, or the recipient’s workplace to promote the library’s programs.
Scholarships are usually based on a combination of merit, references, essays and other criteria. Some library science scholarships are created for a particular group of people or for an individual seeking a specific concentration in library science. Minority grants are an example of the former. A student’s or professional’s financial situation is not always a factor, but some scholarships stipulate that financial need must be demonstrated for an applicant to be eligible.
Student grants typically award scholarship funds to the beneficiary. Depending on requirements, funds can be for a specific library science program or any library science program. Typically, the large university library science programs have various scholarships, grants, and bursaries available for students enrolled in library science. There are also organizations, such as the American Library Association, that award library science scholarships to eligible applicants for any graduate program.
Scholarship requirements typically include scores from national examinations such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), transcripts, references from professors, mentors, or employers, and an essay describing the student’s goals and accomplishments in library science. There may also be an interview or other requirement, depending on the fellowship itself. Large scholarships that cover the full tuition and board fee usually require the recipient to fulfill certain duties throughout the year. For example, the recipient might teach a graduate class or two or act as a research assistant to a professor.
Professional librarianship fellowships in libraries can be based on experience, membership in an organization, professional accomplishments, publications, or a number of other criteria. Some award a cash prize, and others provide funds for professional development courses, attending conferences, or promoting a library program. Some professional scholarships have an experience requirement. For example, there are library science scholarships that require applicants to have at least eight years of experience and those that require less than five years of experience.
Some professional scholarships are awarded along with the title “Artist in Residence” or “Professor in Residence”. In this case, the recipient must teach several classes, prepare demonstrations, or give informative talks on a specific topic. These scholarships are usually offered by universities, museums and libraries and are usually very prestigious.
