Centennial Library Scholarship Award in Library Science

The Centennial Library scholarship encourages the next generation of Christian librarians by providing tuition support for a library graduate degree. The Centennial Library faculty used a generous gift from a 1997 Cedarville University alumnus to establish the scholarship in 1998. Students may apply during their senior year and for two years after graduation. The award is made directly to the graduate school in which the recipient is enrolled.

Application and Award Process

• To apply, prospective applicants must complete an application form, submit a short essay, and provide a letter of reference from a Cedarville University faculty member.
