Recruitment Initiatives

ARL Diversity Program

The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) is sponsoring an Initiative to Recruit a Diverse Workforce. This initiative is designed to attract MLIS students of color to academic and research libraries through the award of stipends during graduate school in exchange for a two year commitment to work in a research library career. The stipend is $2500 per year and is renewable up to two years. This award is not necessarily dependent upon financial need.
