Frank
P. Young Scholarship
Frank P. Young (1879-1969)
was an educator who served on the Appleton Library Board of Trustees 1921-1938.
His wife, Clara Stansbury Young, served on the Library Board 1957-1972.
The Frank P. Young Scholarship Fund was established at the Appleton Public
Library in 1969 to help students obtain a graduate degree in Library Science
and to further library service in the Appleton community.
The scholarship is awarded to students working
toward an advanced degree in Library Science in a program accredited by
the American Library Association at a university in Wisconsin or in one
of the states contiguous to Wisconsin. In recognition of the long and
close relationship of the Frank P. Young family with Appleton and Lawrence
University, preference is given to residents of Appleton or the Fox Cities
area or graduates of Lawrence University.
The scholarship is awarded on the basis
of a letter/resume outlining the applicant’s educational background,
work experience, and career objectives, a completed application, an official
transcript from the Library School and two letters of reference.
The Scholarship Committee of the Board of
Trustees of the Appleton Public Library decides the amount of each scholarship
award and chooses the recipients. Click here
