Scholarship - 2013 Roger K. Summit Scholarship

you may be interested to learn about the 2013 Roger K. Summit Scholarship, presented annually in honor of Dialog’s founder. This $5,000 (USD) award is presented to a student currently enrolled in an accredited library or information science program anywhere in the world. Applications are being accepted now through April 30, 2013.

I would appreciate it so much if you would mention the scholarship to your students in class, or perhaps post the information to the listerv at University of Kentucky.
