The Spectrum Scholarship Program is ten years old this in 2007. Established in 1997, the Spectrum Scholarship Program is the American Library Association's (ALA) national diversity and recruitment effort designed to address the specific issue of under-representation of critically needed ethnic librarians within the profession while serving as a model for ways to bring attention to larger diversity issues in the future. To celebrate the anniversary in a big way, the Spectrum Scholarship Program will award a historic number of master's level scholarships for 2007-2008 and the first ten Spectrum Doctoral Fellowships. |
