BEWARE OF SCHOLARSHIP AND FINANCIAL AID SCAMS!

Be cautious of scholarship and financial aid organizations that charge fees for their services.    

Check with your counselor if you are not sure that a financial aid or scholarship offer you have received is legitimate.

If you are a student or community member who would like to learn more about working in libraries, please read this announcement.  There are scholarships available for people over the age of 14 to help out in all kinds of libraries: schools, academic, public and special.

People selected will receive an $800 scholarship in exchange for volunteering 100 hours in a library. Each person will have a library mentor for advice and training.

 There are also scholarships available for Master’s Degree level students studying for the MLIS and who live in the 12 county area that includes West Texas and the three counties in Southern New Mexico.

 For more information, please call the El Paso Area Library Consortium at (915) 532-5588 or toll free for residents of Doña Ana, Luna and Otero Counties in New Mexico: 1-800-866-550-3725.  Check out the web site:            http://www.your-epal.org/IMLSgrant.html
