About the scholarship
The Naomi and Samuel Greenfield Endowed Scholarship was established through the generosity of long-time librarian Louise Greenfield and her husband, Simon Rosenblatt, to honor the exceptional kindness her parents demonstrated throughout their lives.
This year, the $1000 scholarship will be awarded to two undergraduate student workers at the University Libraries, based on how they exhibit kindness in the workplace. The award can be used to help pay for books and supplies related to their studies at the University of Arizona. Donate to the Naomi and Samuel Greenfield Endowed Scholarship.
How to apply
The 2023 application cycle will open on September 23 and close on October 20.
Write a letter (no more than 500 words) describing your experience working in the library. Address your letter to the Greenfield Scholarship Selection Committee, and be sure to answer the following three questions:
- How have you demonstrated kindness and consideration to your fellow workers or library users?
- How have you enhanced your understanding of workplace cooperation?
- How has the work contributed to the development of your personal work ethic?
Please note that only student workers employed by the UA Libraries are eligible for the Greenfield Scholarship.
