How Is the Book Voucher Amount Determined?

The value of the book voucher can vary each term. It depends on three main factors:

  • The total funding available for the book voucher program that term.

  • The number of eligible students who apply and qualify.

  • The number of units students are enrolled in for the upcoming semester.

Because of this, the voucher amount may change and is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while funds last.
