The Texas Library and Archives Foundation is pleased to announce the Martha Wong Scholarship and the Mark Smith–Gloria Meraz Scholarship. Through these awards, they encourage Texans to pursue a degree from a Texas library/information science graduate program or school librarian certification program. These scholarships have been generously funded by Dr. Martha Wong, Chair of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
The two awards, each a $2,000 grant, must be used to help support an individual with costs associated in attaining a degree from a library/information science program or school library certification program. Monies may be used for tuition or required textbooks.
Applications must be submitted to the Foundation via Submittable by 12:00 midnight (Central) on September 15, 2025. Applicants will be notified by October 15, 2025. Questions may be addressed to txlafinfo@tsl.texas.gov.
