Engineering Degree Online | Library Scholarships awarded at ECU
Here’s an interesting news story I can across. East Carolina University (in my home state of North Carolina) just awarded eight scholarships to recruit students who were seeking careers in libraries.
EDU’s Department of Library Science and Instructional Technology presented the scholarships, the first for Library Science majors, to eight (and very happy) bookworms in NC.
The scholarship provides full tuition in ECU’s master’s in library science, which is a completely online degree program. Over the next 3 years the plan is to award a total of 45 scholarships.
The mulaa for the scholarships came from a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services. The goal of the grant is to allow existing librarians to continue working in their local communities while going to school to become licensed media specialists. This in turn allows school districts in rural areas to have licensed media specialists on staff that they may not otherwise be able to recruit.
Pretty Cool, huh?
