There is hereby established a Library Science Scholarship Fund.
The state librarian may grant scholarships for study in library science at an
institution within the Commonwealth which is accredited by the American
Library Association, the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher
Education or the appropriate regional postsecondary education accrediting
organization. Scholarships may also be granted for study in an accredited
library education program offered via distant learning technologies. Students
applying for library education programs at institutions outside the
Commonwealth that are likewise accredited may apply for assistance under
this program if they agree to work in a library or archival services program
within the Commonwealth upon their graduation in accordance with KRS
171.306.
The state librarian shall establish a Library Science Scholarship Fund Advisory
Committee that will receive and consider all applications for scholarships for
study in library science and shall advise the state librarian on the awarding of
scholarships according to criteria they establish for this purpose.
The department is authorized to receive money from any state, federal, private
or other legal funding source approved by the appropriate state agency for
scholarship purposes, and the amounts of individual scholarships shall be
determined by the state librarian on the advice of the Library Science
Scholarship Fund Advisory Committee, which shall set criteria for the
assistance. Money designated for this fund shall be held in a restricted account
and shall not lapse to the general fund.
