The Sheila Cates scholarship typically awards several thousand dollars to those pursuing library education. Funds can be used towards books, tuition, and other education-related costs. MLA raises funds all year for these scholarships so we can help Montana's library workers reach their educational goals. We continue to carry on the legacy of Sheila Cates, a Montana State Library staff member and extraordinary mentor.
The deadline for this year's Cates Scholarship is Monday, July 18, 2025 so don't delay.
If you have any questions, please contact any member of the MLA Cates Scholarship Committee.
