Four states—South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana—have formed a formal partnership called SWIM to address library education needs in the region. The SWIM Regional Collaborative Library Education Project will provide scholarships to educate librarians through the UNT/LIS master’s program to work in the region's rural communities.  The funding is sponsored by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

 

SWIM Scholarship includes:

  • Not be currently enrolled or have been previously enrolled in a MLIS since January 1, 2005
