Currently Available Scholarships
Books for Scholarships offers scholarships between $50 and $250 each. All scholarships are one-time only, but you may re-apply in subsequent years. In the event that we get a really generous donor, maybe we'll be able to offer larger scholarships in the future. In the meantime, however, we'd like to bring help to as many people as possible.
