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. 

Applications open on Monday, September 23, and are set to close on Sunday, September 29. However, they may close earlier if all funds are exhausted.
