Good Morning Sofia,
The short answer is absolutely. Information Science with an RM focus seems
like a perfect fit. If you are interested, I encourage you to apply for
the one of the scholarships.

Hi Pam--
Does a student pursuing a PhD in Information Science with a research focus
in records management qualify for your AIEF scholarship? I realize there
are probably very few students nationally, or even internationally, that
pursue this level of education in the records management field.
Nonetheless, a doctoral degree is graduate level study and my research
focus is records management.
Previously, I earned my MLIS with an Advanced Certificate in Archives and
Records Management from Long island University. Thank you and I look
forward to hearing from you.
