North Carolina Central University

The North Carolina Central University School of Library and Information Science will partner with public and school library systems from five counties in central North Carolina to recruit 20 minority students to earn master’s degrees in library and information science. Partners include Cumberland County Public Library & Information Center, Hyconeechee Regional Library, Durham County Library, the Public Schools of Robeson County, and Wake County Public Libraries. Scholarships will allow the students to research themes in public and school libraries while earning their degrees. Students will be expected to return to their libraries of origin or to public and school library systems in North Carolina upon graduation.
