The Fellowships are provided through a $50,000 Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Laura Bush Program grants support the recruiting and educating of library students, continuing education for those already in the profession, research and new programs that build institutional capacity. The Fellows work and study in 27 states; are employed in a variety of venues, including public, academic, school, law, medical and government libraries; and represent the diversity in the community and country. The fellowships will help cover costs related to travel, hotel, meals and registration.

Over 100 library associations, libraries, and library foundations have contributed an additional $370,000. With the additional support, the National Committee has awarded 73 full scholarships to librarians from around the world, primarily from developing countries, as well as 70 additional $1,000 scholarships for North American librarians beyond those funded by the IMLS grant.
