Wilkes University to Provide Free Textbooks and Course Materials to Students This Fall
“Studies show that students perform at their best when they are prepared with textbooks and learning materials before classes begin. The cost of books should not be a hindrance to student success. This program ensures that all of our undergraduate students automatically receive course materials prior to the start of the semester and at no added cost,” said President Greg Cant.
For some students, the program can save them as much as $1,600 per year, based on financial aid borrowing limits for books and course materials. “I almost never wanted to buy textbooks because of the costs associated with them,” said Megan Makovsky, pharmacy student. “Providing course materials for students free of charge is something that shows just how much our University cares for its students.”
The program applies to fall and spring semesters for degree-seeking undergraduate students, and covers all required textbooks (print or electronic), lab manuals and access codes for digital content.
