This includes students who have been admitted to SLIS, but who will commence their studies after the scholarship awardee(s) have been announced

Much weight is put on the candidate's statement of purpose, reflecting the personal philosophy of librarianship and career goals. Content and even style are factors in the evaluation of the statement.

Julie Nilson was a very special librarian, who played a large role in InULA and the efforts to obtain and secure faculty status for librarians at Indiana University. She was untiring in her efforts to assist InULA, both in its behind-the-scenes activities and in InULA's public efforts. In honor of her many contributions to InULA, the Board of Directors voted on December 16, 2002 to name the InULA scholarship program in Julie's honors.
