Tuition Waiver—Each Fellow will be given a tuition waiver to cover tuition for three credit hours in a MLIS program at one of the partner library schools.
Fellowship—Each Fellow will complete a 240-hour Fellowship experience in an ARL library during the Spring semester. The Fellowship design will be a combination of the position description created by the ARL library and the learning goals established by Fellows and their Faculty Advisors. All Fellowships will be closely monitored by Faculty Advisors and on-site Mentors to bridge theory and practice. Fellows will be compensated for hours worked and travel and/or lodging costs will be funded by the program.
