The Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies, Press, Copyright, and Office of Undergraduate Research values its student workers. Therefore, these scholarships and awards are a way to recognize some of these many dedicated individuals. The Dr. Albert Viton Scholarship and the Dorothy Newby McCaw Scholarship are merit-based scholarships that have been made possible by two generous donors. The amount of each scholarship is $3,000 for the 2022-2023 academic year. The PULSE Award (Purdue University Libraries Student Employee Award) is an endowed fund started and funded primarily by the faculty and staff of Purdue Libraries. Each year, one or more awards are given for the top student workers in the Purdue Libraries. PULSE Awards are $1,000 each.
