The ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ Scholarships and Study Grants Committee shall make recommendations to the Executive Board and the ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ Council on all policies relating to ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ scholarships, study grants, conference sponsorships or research grants to be made or sponsored by ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ and its units. It shall administer the general scholarships, study grants, conference sponsorships, and research grants presented in the name of the ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ, known as “¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ General Scholarships and Study Grants.” All ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ General Scholarships and Study Grants shall exist to advance study or knowledge in library science. The Committee shall review periodically the appropriateness of existing ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ General Scholarships and Study Grants; shall recommend modification, elimination, or suspension of existing ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ General Scholarships and Study Grants, as needed; and shall make recommendations with respect to proposed new ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ General Scholarships and Study Grants. The Committee shall appoint juries to select recipients of ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ General Scholarships and Study Grants (i.e., scholarships and study grants not administered by a unit of the Association), with the exception of Spectrum juries, and shall coordinate the work of these juries and committees. The committee will work with other units of the Association to coordinate tracking, statistics, and other information about all scholarships and study grants sponsored by ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ and its units.

The Scholarships and Study Grants Committee shall be responsible for maintaining the ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ Scholarships and Study Grants Manual, which includes information for all scholarships and study grants presented by ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ or any of its units; it shall also provide general guidance regarding the procedural aspects of the Scholarships and Study Grants Program (such as information concerning deadline dates and publicity releases).

Each unit of ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ shall determine, within general ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ policies, new scholarships and study grants relating to its specific area of responsibility, known as "¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ Unit Scholarships and Study Grants." Each unit shall review periodically the appropriateness of its existing scholarships and study grants; and shall, as needed, modify, eliminate, or suspend its existing scholarship and study grant(s) and shall handle all details and expenses with respect to its scholarship and study grant(s).

Each unit will submit its proposals for new scholarships and study grants or changes to existing ones as prescribed in the ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ Scholarships and Study Grants Manual to the ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ Scholarships and Study Grants Committee at a regular meeting of the committee at least six months prior to the anticipated date of advertisement. The Scholarships and Study Grants Committee will review and provide assistance to the unit on questions of procedure and coordination with other ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ units. All new scholarships and study grants must be reported prior to the implementation date to the Scholarships and Study Grants Committee, Executive Board, and Council.

Each unit is also responsible for submitting complete records as prescribed In the ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ Scholarships and Study Grants Manual concerning its award(s) to the Scholarships and Study Grants Committee in order that the ¹Ü¼ÒÆŲÊͼ Scholarships And Study Grants Manual may be maintained.
