SCHOLARSHIPS

NHLTA believes that continuing education is the prime factor in providing the highest quality of library services. NHLTA’s Mildred P. McKay Library Scholarship Fund provides scholarship aid to residents of New Hampshire in order to improve library services within the state.
 
Scholarship aid is provided for courses, workshops and conferences; applicants must be either a current trustee board member or presently employed in a New Hampshire library. Past recipients of scholarships may apply again. Submit applications for certificate courses, conferences and workshops anytime before the event.
 
Mildred P. McKay served as the New Hampshire State Librarian from 1942 to 1964. NHLTA established the Mildred P. McKay Library Scholarship Fund in her honor in 1965.
 
Criteria for eligibility and the application can be found on the Scholarship Page of this website.
