WKU seeks to make your higher education affordable!

Textbooks For Troops™ (T4T) is one of the LARGEST programs of its kind in the NATION.

This program is for military, veterans and eligible dependent students enrolled in WKU courses who do not receive a book stipend/scholarship.  DOD High School juniors and seniors enrolled in a Dual Credit class are also eligible.  The program works and sustains itself by having qualified students check out their textbooks for an entire semester.  They must return the books to our program so that books can continue to be loaned out to other students the next semester.  

 

Currently ALL books are being shipped directly to the address you indicate on the book request form.  You are responsible for shipping them back to us at the following address: 

          WKU Military Student Services

          Gary Ransdell Hall 2052

          1906 College Heights Blvd. #81086

          Bowling Green KY 42101

Eligibility

*  Students must not be receiving a textbook stipend, scholarship, or other financial aid specifically for textbooks.  For example, Post 9/11 GI Bill® recipients, Voc. Rehab recipients and some ROTC scholarships award winners may not be eligible to participate.

"I love the Textbooks For Troops because it saved me money and took the burden of searching for them off me while I was preparing to start school."

"It's helped me in my leadership class and I would've otherwise had to buy the book. The book was slightly used, but in great condition. It even came with the important stuff already highlighted. It was great, and you have a great program."
