Scholarship Program
My alma mater has announced a new scholarship from the Tocker Foundation.
The Graduate Academic Certificate (Youth) Program. This program is designed to fill the need for library professionals in the youth services area and offers Master's-level courses to develop core knowledge in literature, services, programs, and information organization for youth. The required courses are taught 100% online via WebCT, are offered year-round, and are taught by a team of full-time graduate professors. Students will come to campus for a two-day orientation and then complete the courses online. Upon completion of the required courses, students will be awarded a Graduate Academic Certificate suitable for framing and the coursework and Academic Certificate credential will be posted on the official transcript. All twelve hours of coursework may transfer for the Master's degree in Library and Information Sciences at the University of North Texas.The Graduate Academic Certificate is not a degree. There are many library venues with shortages that will hire people with this training in a variety of roles including reference work, technical services, or for paraprofessional functions. Students will benefit most from going on for the Master's degree which is universally recognized as the entry credential for professional positions.Tuition Scholarship - Full in-state tuition for four courses.Technology Scholarship - A new computer that meets the technology requirements for the School of Library and Information Sciences. Two years of broadband Internet connectivity (DSL or Cable).
