Dear Mrs. Parker:
Thank you for your letter of November 7, regarding the possi-
bility of your awarding a scholarship to a library school student.
Since we now have an MIS degree program which includes an area of
specialization, it will take many of our students 2 years to com-
plete the MLS degree. This extension of quarters in residence, of
course, places a greater financial burden on the students, several
of whom have already indicated financial need. We have a Committee
on Scholarships and Fellowships, composed of faculty, staff, stu-
dents, and one alumnus member of the School, which considers and rec-
ommends applicants for all scholarships and fellowships. I think
they would be happy to announce the award of a scholarship received
by the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library.
If your committee wishes to write again, please address the
Letter to me and I will see that the Scholarship Committee gets it.
Sincerely yours,
Brooke Bower
