The World Book Graduate Scholarship in Library and Information Science is awarded annually, when merited, for study at an accredited library school in either Canada or the United States. Normally, candidates will already hold a BLS or MLS degree. In exceptional circumstances, consideration will be given to an outstanding candidate with a degree in another discipline who wishes to obtain an MLS degree. Candidates must be Canadian citizens or landed immigrants.
Award is given for the duration of one academic year, i.e. two semesters or three quarters.
