New SLIS Scholarship Opportunities 



The School of Library and Information Science at Wayne State University is pleased to announce four new scholarship opportunities for incoming students for Fall 2012. 



Lothar Spang Memorial Scholarship 

The Lothar Spang Memorial Scholarship is a full tuition scholarship (36 credits) for a master’s degree in library and information science (MLIS) to a student starting in the fall 2012 semester. The scholarship is provided in honor of Lothar Spang, a long-time Wayne State librarian who had a special interest in children, young adults, and urban, underserved communities. This full scholarship is funded by the generosity of Spang’s widow, Jean Spang, as well as Lothar’s many friends and colleagues at the University, and particularly, his colleagues in the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) union . 



The full tuition award is designed to support 36 credits of graduate credit for a student with extreme financial need who demonstrates career plans to serve as a public librarian or school media specialist in an underserved, urban community in the Detroit metropolitan area.
