First-Year College Students: Jennie Gilbert Daigre Education Scholarship
College textbooks are an essential college cost that will take a bigger bite out of your funding than you might.
The average cost of textbooks and other educational course materials is cited as more than $1,200 per year. Students end up paying thousands of dollars over the course of their schooling just on textbooks. When examined as a whole, this cost can be a significant source of stress on a student's budget. The First Year College Students- Jennie Gilbert Daigre Education Scholarship exists to help offset some of these overwhelming textbook costs.
Undergraduate students at 2-year or 4-year institutions are eligible to apply. In your application, write about how you plan to make an impact on the world through the career you are pursuing.
