Dear Mrs. Parker:
I am very pleased to hear that the Friends of the Library are considering establishing scholarship funds to help a student in the field of Library Science.
As you may well know, financial aid to deserving students has declined significantly in the past few years making it very difficult for students of promise to pursue the career of their choice. It is greatly encouraging to me that an organization would commit its time and effort to help offset this critical funding problem and I offer whatever assistance is necessary to assure that your decision to help can be translated into an ongoing program as soon as possible.
I have alerted Mr. James Smith, Director of Student Aid, as to your consideration in this matter and he will personally see that the mechanics of this scholarship are organized to your satisfaction. I have enclosed a copy of our financial assistance booklet to give you an idea of the general student aid program and to offer more information than the standard requirement that a student needs a "B" average to qualify for assistance.
Please let me know how we may be of assistance, and again thank you for your concern.
Sincerely,
Daniel B. Nowak
Acting Vice President,
Student Affairs
