Here's a MLIS scholarship opportunity. The qualifications are specific
and the deadline is soon - but just in case anyone knows the right
person I thought I'd pass this on.

Keep warm!    Ann

Developing the next generation of Native Librarians! 
"Honoring Generations"
is seeking applications from American Indian students 
interested in careers
in tribal librarianship.  Scholarships are available for six 
students to
enroll in a 40 graduate credit hour in-residence program at 
the University
of Texas in Austin.  The program will focus on four 
priorities: recruitment;
professional education; mentoring; and service-learning. 
Students will
complete, within three calendar years, the 40 semester hours 
required for a
Master of Science in Information Studies from the School of 
Information at
the University of Texas at Austin.  The program will include 
courses in
tribal school librarianship, tribal community librarianship 
and tribal
academic librarianship.  "Honoring Generations" students 
will receive
financial packages worth approximately $13,000/year.  The 
deadline for
financial aid applications is February 1, 2004.  Find more 
information on
the application process, visit www.ischool.utexas.edu.  Or 
call Dr. Loriene
Roy at (512) 471-3959 or email her at 
loriene at ischool.utexas.edu.

The Arizona State University website maintains an extensive 
listing of
Native Scholarship opportunities throughout the country. 
Not all listings
are current, and many only provide contact information for 
interested
parties instead of a detailed examination of the individual 
scholarships,
but the listing has been compiled by ASU with the help of 
several American
Indian tribes and is thoroughly comprehensive.  For more 
information, visit
