The ABAA Scholarship provides annual support for Rare Book School (RBS) course tuition through the Elisabeth Woodburn Fund of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA). It supports coursework rather than a separate research study or project. Eligible applicants include full and associate ABAA members and employees of ABAA members.
Rare Book School lists the award among its Outside Scholarship Opportunities. ABAA, rather than RBS, establishes the scholarship’s criteria, application timeline, and selection process. RBS provides continuing education in the history of written, printed, and digital materials, with a focus on bibliographical and book-historical education.
