Scholarship Information

Guidelines:

The CMLC Scholarship fund’s purpose is to provide financial assistance to a student in an American Library Association-accredited library and information science Master’s Degree program. The $500 Scholarship may be used for any purpose related to the recipient’s degree program expenses. In the spirit of former University of Southern Mississippi library science professor Dr. Laura Long’s generosity to students, recipients are encouraged to use the scholarship to enhance their education by attending lectures, exhibits, or conferences.

Selection:

The applicant must currently be enrolled in an ALA-accredited Master’s Degree program and have completed six (6) hours. The applicant must currently be an employee of a Mississippi library and must not have previously been awarded this scholarship from CMLC. Preference will be given to employees of CMLC member libraries. The successful recipient will have demonstrated a genuine commitment to the profession by participating in activities that further library skills or enhance knowledge among library professionals within the state. Thus, the scholarship may be used for any purpose that is reasonably connected to the field of library science. Applications must be submitted by June 1st to be considered. The scholarship is awarded before the fall term begins.

Application:

Return completed form and unofficial MLIS transcript  by June 1st to
Judy Reedy – CMLC Scholarship Committee Chairperson – Mississippi State Law Library – 450 High Street | Jackson, MS 39201.
