Friends of the Heights Libraries offers scholarships

Friends of the Heights Libraries are continuing their tradition of offering Library Education Scholarships. The scholarships provide funds to be used for tuition or books in any ALA-accredited graduate program in library science.

Applications will be accepted through June 15, and the winners will be announced by July 15. All completed submission packets are reviewed by a scholarship committee consisting of representatives from Kent State University, the CH-UH Library and the Friends. Funding will be awarded by Aug. 1 for the fall academic semester.

Anyone who has lived in Cleveland Heights or University Heights for at least one year, as well as anyone currently employed by the Heights Library for at least a year, is eligible for the award. Submissions must include a scholarship application, a personal statement, a complete and official college transcript and three letters of recommendation. 

Applications and additional information can be downloaded from the library’s website at www.heightslibrary.org or the Friends’ website at friendsofheightslibrary.onefireplace.com.
