It’s simple. YOU could be the winner of the 2010 Rebecca Jackson Memorial
Scholarship! Each year, the Rocky Mountain Chapter of SLA awards a

degree program in Library/Information Science. Eligible candidates are
required to be living in the Chapter region (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, or
South Dakota) and/or be enrolled in a graduate library school program in the
Chapter region or abroad (distance program.)
The amount awarded depends on the funds raised through donations and our
scholarship fundraising event held each year. This year’s event “*3rd Annual
* *RMSLA Day at the Ballpark”* promises a nostalgic day with a great
American pastime To find out more about the even or order tickets, go to the

*Application guidelines and process:*
Applicants must be residents (and living) in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming or
South Dakota.**
* *
Applicants must be currently enrolled in an initial graduate degree program
in library and information science, whether in the Chapter region or via a
distance graduate program. (The scholarship is not awarded to PhD candidates
or for continuing education/certificate programs.)**
* *
Part-time and/or online students are eligible as well as full-time students.
**
Applicants must be SLA members. If the person is not an SLA member upon
application, they should be by award time. Belonging to a related special
libraries organization such as CCML or CoALL is a plus.**
* *
Eligible candidates need to have completed classes so that they have an
academic track record and a school reference. If they are accepted to a
program, but have not completed any coursework prior to the application
deadline, we recommend that they apply the following year.**
* *
The person needs to display financial need. If financial need is not
described or documented, the candidate may be contacted for additional
information during a tight decision. If an individual has financial need,
but is receiving a form of financial aid or other scholarships, then it is
considered when evaluating their financial need.**
* *
The candidate needs to articulate an interest in special libraries. Work
background is considered in evaluating their interest.**
* *
Involvement in the Rocky Mountain Chapter is a plus.**
Other criteria we consider:
We would like the award to go to someone who is committed to staying in the
region, if possible. Indications are that they have a home or family and an
employment history in the area, and are not just residing there for a year
or two while in school.
