Sam Houston State University (Sam Houston State University, Department of Library Science and Technology)

The Sam Houston State University Department of Library Science will partner with the Region One Education Service Center to provide 20 scholarships for students from the South Texas area to earn master’s degrees in library science. Most of the recruits will be bilingual and/or of Hispanic heritage. Upon completion of the program, students will take the required state certification examination to become qualified school librarians for the State of Texas. The certified school librarians will then be placed in South Texas schools and in leadership positions within the school districts in the area.
