The Washington, D.C. Chapter announces its 2009 scholarship program. Two scholarships of $2,000 each will be awarded by the chapter in August 2009 for studies leading to a Master’s Degree from an ALA accredited graduate Library Science program.

DC/SLA wants to encourage talented men and women to join us with a career in special libraries. And so, to assist students who are preparing for a Master’s Degree in Library Science, the Washington, D.C. Chapter is offering two cash awards again this year:
