Welcome to the Tuition Support for Library Media Specialists Form

Provided by the Multicounty Multitype Library Systems
Thank you for your interest in this program!

We are currently accepting applicants for tuition support to be paid for by the Minnesota Multicounty Multitype Library Systems (MCMT) from an appropriation provided by the Minnesota Legislature during the 2023 Legislative Session.

We will begin reviewing applications March 1st, 2026.

If you have any questions about this application or the program, please reach out to Ashley Dress (adress6126@gmail.com).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Program Goal: To provide tuition support to those applicants currently accepted to university programs in order to obtain their Library Media Specialist cerfication AND who are currently employed in a school district as a Library Media Specialist. Applicants may include Tier 1, 2, 3 or 4 licensees, but this program will only pay for courses that specifically go towards the Library Media Specialist licensure, not an initial teaching license.

Currently, there are two programs in the state that offer the Library Media Specialist certificate to new enrollees. If you are interested in learning more about the programs, please visit their websites or contact the program's coordinators:
- St. Catherine University - Lacey Rotier
- St. Cloud State University - Dr. Jennifer Hill
The amount of tuition support provided will be based on the cost of graduate tuition and fees per credit up to the amount of St. Cloud State University's current rate.

More information about the Tuition Support Program for Library Media Specialists can be found here.

By completing this form, you are agreeing to share your response with the MCMT and indicated higher education partners.
