Each year, GLA awards two scholarships to individuals pursuing Master's degrees in Library and Information Science. The Beard Scholarship ($1,500) and Hubbard Scholarship ($3,000) are meant to offset the high cost of pursuing further education. All information, including the application form, application information, and tips and tricks for applying can be found on the GLA website at https://georgialibraryassociation.org/Awards-and-Scholarships.
Recipients must commit to working in a library-related capacity or a Georgia library for one (1) year after graduation, depending on which scholarship they receive. For additional information and requirements, please review the Application Information or contact the committee leadership directly at scholarship@georgialibraryassociation.org.
The 2026 Application Form has been live since March 27, 2026.
Completed applications and all supporting documentation must be submitted by today's scholarship application deadline of Sunday, May 17, 2026 @ 11:59 PM.
