The deadline for the Carin E. Somers Scholarship is fast approaching. 

 

Approximate Value - $2,000 (One award non renewable)

The Atlantic Provinces Library Association administers the Carin Somers Scholarship Trust. The trust provides an annual scholarship in her name to assist a Canadian citizen who is an Atlantic Provinces resident needing financial assistance to undertake or complete the academic requirements leading to a degree of Master of Library Science.

Funds are awarded on a competitive basis and financial need is a consideration.

The award will normally be announced at the Ordinary General Meeting held at the Annual Atlantic Provinces Library Association Conference.

The successful applicant will have been accepted in a program for a masters degree in library science and information studies that is accredited by the American Library Association.

Selection of the recipient will be recommended by a committee of the four Provincial Vice Presidents and the President-Elect to the Executive Committee.
