Binc Foundation Scholarship Winners
"The Binc scholarship will surely allow me to focus more diligently on my studies. But further, the honor compels me to carry on the altruism of the Binc Foundation in my career as an information professional. Years from now, I hope to trace my success back to this incredible award." - Christina from Bookbug Kalamazoo
The Book Industry Charitable Foundation is pleased to announce the 2014 Binc Scholars. This year's award winners represent a wide variety of booksellers, former Borders employees and dependents of both, and were chosen from a pool of 155 applicants. 53 students will share in the nearly $200,000 in the form of $10,000 and $3,500 awards for the 2014-15 academic year.
The scholars are a mix of traditional and non-traditional students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. This group of students will be studying subjects as diverse as veterinary technology, financial planning, publishing and graphic design. 34 bookstores in 26 states, from Vermont to California, can claim a Binc Scholar.
