Each quarter, we are reminded of how determined, resourceful, and inspiring today’s students are. The Q2 2025 round of the BookScouter Scholarship was no exception. We received dozens of video submissions, each one unique, but all united by one common theme: the high cost of education, especially textbooks.
As in previous rounds, students across the country shared their majors, future goals, and the most expensive textbook they’ve had to purchase. Their stories highlighted the real financial challenges of college life and why finding support—whether through scholarships, savings, or community—matters now more than ever.
