Binc Announces 2017 Higher Education Scholarship Recipients

Jun 08, 2017

27 booksellers have been selected to receive more than $100,000 in education scholarship funding as part of the Book Industry Charitable Foundation’s 2017 Higher Education Scholarship Program.

The recipients were selected from 125 applicants comprised of bookstore owners, booksellers, former Borders Books employees, or their dependents. In total, $109,000 was awarded to help booksellers from 23 stores in 14 states reach their educational goals.

The scholarships can be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies and room and board. Funds may also be used over consecutive years if the student is not able to use the entire award for the 2017-2018 academic year. Since 2001, the Foundation has supported the educational goals of more than 600 booksellers, granting over $1.9 million in awards.
