Scholarship for library school students with disabilities

AccessLife is carrying a story about how Ellen Perlow convinced ASCLA to offer a library school scholarship for people with disabilities. At first, ALA turned her down.

\”This fact made Perlow realize that the program would have to be funded independently and not detract from the Spectrum scholarships for racially diverse library students. So she went out and got her first anonymous donation and, in a very short time, the program was set.\”
