GLA Scholarship Application Deadline, May 21!

Library school students, get those applications in for the Beard and Hubbard Scholarships! The scholarships provide $1,000 and $3,000, respectively, and the deadline to apply for these wonderful opportunities is May 21, 2011.

The Scholarship Committee will review all complete applications received by the deadline. Selection will be based on the application and supporting documents. Other considerations being equal, residents of Georgia will be given preference. Applicants will be considered for both awards by the committee and will be notified of the decision no later than June 15, 2011.

Please see the Scholarship page on the GLA website for application materials and more details.
