ALA Spectrum Scholarship Match

Over the last decade, Simmons has successfully recruited over forty Spectrum Scholars from the American Library Association's Spectrum Scholarship Program, one of the highest numbers among LIS programs. We take pride in the contributions of these students as active leaders on campus and in the profession. 

SLIS will match the $5000 Spectrum Scholarship to incoming graduate students. Additional details can be found on the ALA Spectrum Scholarship Apply page.

Please Note: Scholarship restrictions may apply, including, but not limited to, maximum award limits. Simmons will match the $5,000 Spectrum Scholarship award with a $5,000 scholarship as long as the student's overall Simmons-sponsored scholarship funding will not exceed $25,000. Students who receive the Spectrum Scholarship from ALA must inform SLIS Graduate Admission ([email protected]) before the start of their program to be considered for a match.
