Since the Higher Education Act, Title ITB support of general fellowships for library education has been discontinued, it is good news to learn that nine library schools have received grants for fifty fellowships in 1972 under Title V, Part E of the Education Professions Development Act. Simmons College School of Library Science was the only library education agency to receive grants from this program in 1970 and 1971. The other 862 fellowships awarded for 1972 are to prepare teachers, administrators, and educational specialists for colleges and universities. The programs will be conducted during the summer of 1972 and the 1972-73 academic year for the training of two- and four-year college university personnel below the doctoral level.
Recipients of these fellowships received a stipend of $2,400 for a twelve-month period and $2,600 if the fellowship is extended to a second year. An allowance of $500 a year for each dependent is also provided. Inquiries about the fellowships should be addressed to the administrators noted below for each school. Seven of them will award five fellowships apiece. Western Michigan will award eight for work toward the master’s degree for library media specialists for junior colleges and the University of Texas will award seven for postmaster’s work. Two-thirds of the fellowships were awarded to programs directed to the needs of the economically disadvantaged.
