Intern Scholarship Application

The stipend will be $600, half of which will be payable at the beginning of an approved internship, and half upon completion of all responsibilities for the internship. Applicants agree to provide a summary of their internship experience for publication in the chapter newsletter.

Applicants must be a regular or student member of InSLA, be sponsored by a regular member of the Indiana Special Libraries Association (InSLA), and have made arrangements for a library and information science-related internship with an Indiana business, non-profit, or educational institution.

Preference will be given to individuals holding or pursuing a graduate degree offered by the Indiana University School of Library & Information Science, or other American Library Association (ALA) accredited graduate program. Preference may be given for considerations including, an internship taking place at a special library or in a non-traditional (non-library) setting, an internship emphasizing professional and innovative application of library/information science skills, and an internship which is non-compensated (unpaid) or which might not be possible without support from the internship scholarship stipend.
