Looking to offset the high cost of textbooks? The ASI Baraiya
Textbook Reimbursement Program was created to help you!
Your student government allocated $5,000 per semester to
help Sacramento State students to ease the financial strain of
buying textbooks. The Reimbursement Program will help students up
to $100 each semester for a textbook(s), on a
“first-come, first-served” approach
until the funds are exhausted during the application period.
Part of Associated Students, Inc.’s mission is to provide
experiential education, leadership opportunities, and support
services to a growing community.
NOTE: Due to limited funding, not all eligible applicants will be
awarded.
Program starts Fall 2024 so mark your calendars
