The Beverly Murphy MLA Scholarship for Underrepresented Students is awarded annually by the Medical Library Association (MLA) to a student who shows excellence in scholarship and potential for accomplishment in health sciences librarianship. The applicant must be a member of an underrepresented group. They must be entering a master's program at an American Library Association (ALA)-accredited graduate library school or, at the time of the granting of the scholarship (March), have completed no more than one-half of the academic requirements of the graduate program. Past recipients of MLA Scholarships are not eligible to apply. Membership in MLA is not required. Applicants must submit the copy of their library school's catalog or web page, which states the number of credits needed for a degree. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
