The Helen Thayer Bowling Scholarship

With this agreement, Helen Thayer Bowling, class of 1933, and her husband, Harry L. Bowling, declare their intention to make a testamentary gift to the UNCG Excellence Foundation to establish the Helen Thayer Bowling Scholarship Fund. The scholarship will benefit needy and deserving students of library science.

  • Recipients will be deserving students who demonstrate financial need.
  • Recipients will be students who have declared an interest in pursuing a course of study in library science.

PROCEDURES Each spring semester the Admissions Committee of the Department of Library and Information Studies meets to select students who meet the following criteria:

  • Admission to the MLIS degree program by March 15 and expectation to enroll in the Summer or Fall, either part-time or full-time.
  • Have GRE scores of at least 1070 (combined 2 scores from verbal, quantitative, or analytical).
  • Have an undergraduate GPA of 3.25 or higher or a graduate GPA of 3.5 or higher.
  • Letters of recommendation - subjective appraisal by Committee.
  • Personal data forms - subjective appraisal by Committee.

Once the most qualified student is selected, the Chair of the Department contacts the student to see whether or not the student will accept the fellowship. If the student does plan to accept the fellowship, the Department submits the recommendation to the Office of Student Financial Aid Scholarship Committee. If the Committee agrees with the recommendation, they will send notification in writing to the student.
