Description
The Medical Library Association (MLA) offers the Gwendolyn S. Cruzat scholarship to support graduate education in library science. Listed among MLA’s Advanced Education opportunities, it assists students enrolled in or entering an American Library Association (ALA)–accredited library school. Its focus is formal library education rather than funding a specified research study or demonstration project.
The scholarship is part of MLA’s broader portfolio of grants, scholarships, and fellowships supporting education and professional development. Within that portfolio, its Advanced Education designation distinguishes graduate-study support from opportunities focused on research, continuing education, or other professional development activities. MLA considers its funding opportunities annually and makes awards only when applicants clearly meet or exceed the requirements.
