Description

The Beverly Murphy MLA Scholarship for Underrepresented Students was established in 1973 and renamed for Beverly Murphy, AHIP, FMLA in 2023. Murphy is a role model for those candidates for the Scholarship for Underrepresented Students to achieve their highest career aspirations. A scholarship is awarded annually to a student who shows excellence in scholarship and potential for accomplishment in health sciences librarianship. Applicants must be entering a master's program at an American Library Association-accredited graduate library school or, at the time of the granting of the scholarship, must have completed no more than one-half of the academic requirements of the graduate program. The recipient may receive only one MLA scholarship in a given year. Past recipients of MLA Scholarships are not eligible to apply. Membership in MLA is not required. Applicants must submit their unofficial, or official, transcripts from each college or university they attended. A copy of the applicant's library school's catalog or web page, which states the number of credits needed for a degree, must also be submitted. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Medical Library Association for more information.
