Mrs. Frankenthaler believed that our free library system is the basis for a good life and that the greatest gifts a human being can have are good memories and education, both of which are supplied free by our public library system. The purpose of the scholarship is to recruit beginning professional librarians who possess potential for leadership and commitment to service in libraries in the Southeastern United States (see below).1 The scholarship provides financial assistance toward completion of the graduate degree in library science from an institution accredited by the American Library Association. The $2,000 scholarship is awarded annually. The recipient of the scholarship is notified in June with funding to begin with the fall school term. The scholarship will be paid to the recipient in equal installments at the beginning of each term of the school year. The presentation of the scholarship award is made at the Biennial Southeastern Library Association Conference. To apply for the scholarship, submit to the Committee Chair: 1.
