Library Scholarship Application Deadline is May 21, 2012

by Linda Baum

Monday, May 21st is the last day library science students can submit an application for the Conover-Wihtol Scholarship to the Middletown Library.

As of this past Wednesday, the Library had not yet received any applications, but that could be because applicants are waiting for end-of-semester transcripts to include with their last minute submissions.

The Scholarship is open to New Jersey residents who have been accepted to or are currently enrolled in an accredited master of library science program. The amount of the annual Scholarship is no less than $500 and is at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.
