Rising textbook costs are no joke for college students. I remember almost crying from the cost of my books freshman year (at that point I thought the best place to buy them was the college bookstore–big mistake). Today’s scholarship opportunity directly addresses this problem and helps students pay for their textbooks!
Sponsored by MyBookBuyer.com, the aptly-named “Textbooks For A Year Scholarship” is for college/university students who are residents of the United States. This scholarship is essay-based and awards two scholarships to winning students. The grand prize is worth $1,250 and the runner-up receives $250. The deadline for this scholarship is October 31. 2011, so you have plenty of time to get started!
The essay question for the Fall 2011 Scholarship is:
Name one modern living figure who has had the greatest influence on you? Use support from a book to defend your position.
Essays must be submitted online and need to be between 500 and 1,000 words. The scholarship winners will be announced December 15, 2011.
The official scholarship rules can also be found on the scholarship website.
