About

College can be a challenge for most students. Building a career while attending school is difficult enough. We are happy that we are in a position through the book assistance donor fund to alleviate the high cost of textbooks, but we need your help.

At the beginning of the fall semester, the St. John's bookstore offers $8,000 in gift cards to students that cannot afford textbooks. These gift cards run out within the first two weeks, and that is just for the fall semester, leaving nothing for the spring semester. We use free versions of textbooks, we make copies of textbooks, and we ask professors to add their books to the St. John's library. But, there is still a high level of need, and by making a gift to the Book Assistance Fund, you can help.

Every time a student uses a textbook from the Book Assistance Fund, it will because of your generous service. Please make a gift today!
