SLIS offers annual scholarship and fellowship awards. Many of these are provided through the generous gifts of alumni and other SLIS supporters. They are often established in memory or in honor of the person for whom the award is named. Most of these awards are given to currently enrolled, full-time master’s or specialist degree students. Students who apply for SLIS financial aid by the January 15 deadline will be considered. Faculty members may nominate students for some awards. E- mail notices will be sent out on the SLIS listserv if any different procedures are required. Award decisions will be made by the end of April each year. Examples of the awards available:
