For students that are looking for some help to purchase textbooks next semester, the Salt Lake Community College Student Association has a book scholarship to help students with financial needs pay for textbooks for this upcoming spring semester.
“[The scholarship] is used to promote our students,” says Christina Fehr, a member of the SLCC Student Senate for the Student Association. “They’ve been working really hard and we like to give them a little bit of a hand when we can.”
The book scholarship can provide students with up to a $250 credit to use at SLCC book stores for the spring 2014 semester, depending on the applicant’s GPA.
Those students who have a 2.5 to 2.9 GPA will receive $200 and students who have a 3.0 GPA or above will receive $250.
“We ask that students that are nearing completion of their diploma to apply,” says Fehr. “But pretty much anybody who demonstrates a need is eligible.”
Those who need the assistance can submit an application that will be verified by Financial Aid. Students who will receive a tuition waiver or any other form of compensation from the college will not be eligible for the scholarship.
Students must be entering into at least their second semester with a minimum of six credit hours.
Applicants need to have a 2.5 GPA or higher to be eligible.
Anyone who meets the requirements for the scholarship is encouraged to apply.

The Student Life and Leadership office is located at the Student Center on the Taylorsville Redwood Campus.
