We're ready to help recruit students to start classes in spring 2006. We currently have one Honoring Generations student, another student is admitted for summer 2005, and a third is completing his application for fall 2005. The next deadline is 1 October 2005 to start classes in late January 2006. Just let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Loriene Dr. Loriene Roy White Earth Anishinabe; Member: Minnesota Chippewa Tribe ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Honoring Generations: Developing the Next Generation of Native Librarians Now Recruiting for Spring 2006 Admissions Honoring Generations is now seeking applications from American Indian students interested in careers in tribal librarianship. Scholarships are available for students to enroll in a 40 graduate credit hour on-site program at the University of Texas in Austin's School of Information. Graduates will receive a Master of Science in Information Studies degree. The deadline for spring 2006 admissions is October 1, 2005. Honoring Generations students will receive financial packages covering tuition and fees, a $500 relocation stipend, and monthly stipends of $500. Students are also encouraged to investigate other financial support from their tribe, professional organizations, and from sources at the University of Texas at Austin. Employment opportunities, including internships, may also be available. Students may also be invited to attend conferences and other professional development opportunities. To participate in Honoring Generations, students need to have completed a bachelor's degree from a US accredited institution. Prospective students need to complete two online applications, one to the University of Texas at Austin Graduate School and one to the School of Information, and submit other application materials including transcripts, GRE scores, reference letters/forms, and a personal statement.
