Scholarship Fund!

Do you want to help a student in need with their higher education? If so, here's an opportunity to contribute (in any amount) with 100% of your donation going to a student in need. No overhead costs or administrative fees. If we raise $500 or $3000 or $10,000, all of it goes support students.

A little history of our scholarships:

We offered our first need-based scholarship in 2019. The application was simple and asked what the student was going to do to help make the world a better place. It was for $250 which was all we could afford at the time.

In 2020, we increased our scholarship amount to $500 and because of the quality of applications, awarded scholarships to two separate students. We also renamed the scholarship after Dr. Howard B. Bennett who passed away earlier that year.

In 2021 the Dr. Howard B. Bennett Memorial Scholarship was increased to $1000.

This year we're pleased to announce that we'll be offering (at least) three separate scholarships. In addition to the Dr. Howard B. Bennett Memorial Scholarship we will be offering two other scholarship, one for a LGBTQ+ student and another for a member of an ingenious or tribal nation. We're committing $2000 to these scholarships at $1000, $500, and $500, respectively.

If you're willing to contribute toward a scholarship 100% of your donation will go directly to a student in need. Depending on how much we raise we'll either increase the amount of the scholarship or offer scholarships to additional students. Or both.

We can see a list of our past scholarship winners here: Bennett's Books Scholarships

P.S. Everybody that contributes will be recognized on our website and our social media platforms.
