The IOBA Scholarship is an outside scholarship opportunity offered to IOBA members and listed by Rare Book School. Two scholarships are offered annually to help cover course tuition at Rare Book School, California Rare Book School in Los Angeles, or London Rare Books School. The support is tied to participation in courses rather than a separate research project or independently defined program of work.
