title: Birth of a foundation.
abstract: In order to attract competent students with backgrounds in biology to the field of medical librarianship, the Medical Library Group of Southern California decided to expand their scholarship program. Funds were appropriated to establish a nonprofit, tax exempt foundation whose objective is to provide two full annual scholarships for the Master's degree program in librarianship. Details of the procedure followed in establishing the foundation are described along with criteria for selecting students.
