Purpose:
The Jeanette P. Myers Memorial Scholarship provides funds to encourage and support the post-secondary education of past or present employees of the Bloomfield Township
Public Library, or persons who have some relationship with that Library, as the Selection Committee shall determine.
Criteria for Award:
A total annual amount of at least $500, in the aggregate, will be awarded to scholarship applicants to use for books, tuition or other relevant expenses to

forms by the annual deadline of June 1. Proof of satisfactory employment of at least three months at the Bloomfield Township Public Library, or other evidence of a connection with that Library satisfactory to the
Selection Committee. Evidence of enrollment in an institution of higher education.
Guidelines for Distribution of Scholarships:
Awards will be made using the following guidelines: Review of the application forms and statements of goals by a Selection Committee
comprised of the Library Director and two members of the Library Board of Trustees. Relatives of a member of the Selection Committee are not eligible for the scholarship. Applicants may be interviewed by a member or
members of the Selection Committee, either by telephone or in person, in connection with their application. Awards may vary in number and in amount of the individual award, but at least one award will be made each

scholarship recipient for application against tuition or eligible expenses. If the recipient fails to attend the institution, the award will be returned to the scholarship fund.
