Apply Now for 2009 - 2010 OLA MLS Scholarships
The application process is open for Oregon residents enrolled or
planning to enroll in a graduate course of study for the Masters in
Library Science degree for the 2009 - 2010 academic year. Applications
from eligible students are sought for over $17,000 in scholarship
awards. Current recipients of OLA MLS scholarships may reapply annually
for continuing funding for up to three years of awards.
The scholarship application process deadline is March 2, 2009. Before
applying read OLA's Scholarship Program guidelines and eligibility
requirements. OLA's scholarship application and requirements are
available as an electronic eApplication, through the Oregon Student
Assistance Commission (OSAC), at www.GetCollegeFunds.org

Select OSAC Scholarships under "Quick Links" on the left. OLA's
scholarship application requirements are described by entering a search
for Scholarship Code 471 or for the Oregon Library Association. For the
eApplication, go to www.getcollegefunds.org/eapp.html
At the OSAC site, you can read about OLA's program, and search the more
than 340 scholarships OSAC manages. The scholarship application process
is confidential, and there is no fee to apply. All OLA scholarship
applications must be submitted to OSAC postmarked or hand-delivered no
later than March 2, 2009. Be sure to read the eligibility rules, and
submit all required documents.
The OSAC office is located at 1500 Valley River Drive, Suite 100,
Eugene, OR 97401. Applicants who submit their completed application by
