American Library Association SPECTRUM Scholars at UCLA
Established in 1997, the Spectrum Initiative is ALA's national diversity and recruitment effort designed to address the specific issue of under-representation of critically needed ethnic librarians within the profession while serving as a model for ways to bring attention to larger diversity issues in the future. Spectrum's major drive is to recruit applicants and award scholarships to American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students. Spectrum provides a one-year $5,000 scholarship and over $1,500 in professional development opportunities to eligible students planning to attend an ALA-accredited graduate program in library and information studies or an ALA-recognized NCATE School Library Media program. For its first five years, Spectrum provided 50 scholarships nationwide, this then was reduced to 25 because of a shortage of funding at ALA; however, through additional grants, in 2005 ALA is able to fund a record 67 scholarships for study in the 2005-2006 school year. (Source: http://www.ala.org/ala/diversity/spectrum/spectrum.htm)
University of California, Los Angeles endeavors to match the Spectrum award for all Spectrum Scholars. The award is determined annually pending availability of funds.
