The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Society of American
Archivists (SAA) are now accepting applications for the 2016–2017 cohort of
the ARL/SAA Mosaic Program. This program, funded by the Institute of Museum
and Library Services (IMLS), ARL, and SAA, promotes much-needed
diversification of the archives and special collections professional
workforce by providing support for master of library and information
science (MLIS) students from traditionally underrepresented racial and
ethnic minority groups who are pursuing degrees with a concentration in
archives or special collections librarianship.
Components of the ARL/SAA Mosaic Program include a robust internship
experience, mentoring, career placement assistance, and leadership
development. The program seeks to attract individuals who demonstrate
excellent potential for scholastic and personal achievement and who
manifest a commitment both to the archives and special collections
profession and to advancing diversity concerns within it.

program participant consisting of:

   - Tuition stipend of up to $5,000 distributed in two equal installments
   of $2,500 per semester
   - Paid internship in a partner archives or library organization
   beginning in early fall 2016
   - Mentoring from an archives professional or special collections
   librarian
   - Financial assistance of up to $1,000 for relocation to the area of the
   MLIS program that the participant will attend
   - Student membership in SAA for one year
   - Support for travel to and participation in the annual ARL/SAA Mosaic
   Leadership Forum and SAA Annual Meeting in August 2016
   - Support for travel to and participation in the ARL Annual Leadership
   Symposium, held in conjunction with the American Library Association
   Midwinter Meeting in January 2017

   - Be accepted into a master’s program in archival science, archival
   management, digital archives, special collections, or a related program
   - Remain enrolled in at least six graduate credit hours per term through
   completion of the designated graduate programs and have at least one full
