21st Century Librarian Scholarships |
|
Due to state and federal funding considerations, scholarships funding is suspended until additional funding can be identified in 2009. See the Other Scholarships section below for information on other scholarships available. The Nebraska Library Commission awards scholarships to Nebraskans for coursework and degree programs in library studies. Scholarships are funded by state aid funding appropriated by the Nebraska Legislature, granted and administered by the Nebraska Library Commission and through the Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act and the Librarians for the 21st Century Program. |
