Currently registered students who read one of the program's two selected books, participate in at least two qualifying, cultural events, submit two written reflections about them, and write an essay or produce a creative project have the chance to win a scholarship! Three scholarships are available: one for $1,000 and two for $500 each. The scholarships awarded this semester are for use in Fall 2025.
Past Reading Culture winners’ eligibility for future prizes in the program will resume after one academic year. (Example Scenario: A prize winner for Fall 2024 cannot compete for a prize again until Fall 2025, but they are welcome to participate in the activities).
