Librarian Scholarhips
The Library Foundation provides financial assistance to Louisville Free Public Library employees who wish to pursue a master’s degree in library science. The Foundation established the Scholarship Program in 1999 to help educate future LFPL librarians to meet the community’s ongoing need for quality service and information.
Current (part-time and full-time) employees of the Louisville Free Public Library who have completed six (6) months of service are eligible to apply.
At the end of the fall 2015 semester, the Library Foundation had granted scholarships to 75 LFPL employees, for a total grant amount of just over $800,000.
