Description
The George Robert Kane Scholarship is provided by the Northern California Chapter of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (NCC/ABAA). It supports attendance at Rare Book School courses, with the aim of promoting professionalism and education relevant to the book trade. Its focus is course-based learning and professional development, rather than a separate research project or independent program of work.
Rare Book School lists the award among its Outside Scholarship Opportunities, distinguishing it from scholarships administered directly by the school. NCC/ABAA determines the scholarship’s criteria, application timeline, and selection process. Applicants should therefore consult the chapter for current requirements rather than use the deadlines and application procedures for RBS-awarded scholarships.
