Rare Book School: 2008 Scholarship Application
Applications for RBS scholarships will be accepted until 5pm, 1 September 2008. The RBS Scholarship Committee chair will notify scholarship applicants of its decision via email on 6 October 2008. Please note that the timelines between the awarding of scholarships in October and the January sessions are very tight. If you contemplate applying for a January course, please indicate your intention as part of your personal statement when you submit your scholarship application. Please also note that, while scholarship recipients receive free tuition to an RBS course, these awards do not include support for other expenses such as transportation or housing.
RBS scholarship applications may be submitted by mail, fax, or email. Electronic documents should be sent
as email attachments (PDFs are preferred; please, no TIFs or JPGs). If you are in doubt about the appropriate
electronic format, we encourage you to mail or fax your application. All materials (including recommendations) are due by the above deadline. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
To compete for an RBS scholarship, please provide the following:
1) A completed copy of this application form [Note: you will not be able to save the filled PDF file (you can only print it) unless you have Adobe Acrobat Professional installed - not Adobe Reader. See above for details about accepted submission formats.]
2) A current résumé or C.V.
3) A confidential letter of recommendation, following these guidelines:
a) If you are employed: a letter from your supervisor or employer, including information regarding what
institutional support for RBS, if any, is available to you.
b) If you are self-employed or a student: a letter from someone (e.g. an instructor) who is familiar with your
work and interests.
This letter should be sent directly to the Scholarship Committee via any of the methods listed above. The
person writing your recommendation should include the following sentence at the top of his or her letter: “This is a letter of recommendation for [your name], who is applying for a scholarship to Rare Book School.”
4) A personal statement (no longer than one page) in which you also:
a) Explain how you anticipate that attending RBS will help you in developing your professional skills.
b) Explain why receiving this scholarship is necessary for you. If you are currently employed, please explain
the likelihood of receiving institutional support for tuition, travel, housing, &c., or the circumstances which
might preclude such support.
In making its awards, the RBS Scholarship Committee will give special consideration to applicants who
represent under-served communities or whose institutions do so. In their personal statements, applicants who meet these criteria should so identify themselves and, as relevant, briefly describe the nature of the
communities served.
