There were 15 lucky winners who received the most expensive item on their transaction for FREE
in the KU Student Bookstore during a Back-to-School promotion that ran from
August 25 – 29. The Bookstore gave away nearly $1,500 in textbooks and course
supplies. These funds are made available from surplus in our Emergency Textbook
Fund which we build by selling unusable or donated books online. If you know of
a student who loses their books due to fire, flood or other severe
circumstances, please be sure to direct them to the KU Student Bookstore, where
we have a fund established to help replace their books.
