Book Service Award

To find out if you have been awarded a summer BSA, please look at the summer book awards 2023 list. The list is in numerical ID # order.

*PDF to be linked*

The purchase period to begin using your Book Service Award will be on Wednesday June 3, 2023, and the last day to use your Book Service Award is on Tuesday June 23, 2023. The book award amount for summer 2023 is $150.00 and if you elect the “shipping” option, EOPS will be taking care of the fee! However, if your purchase totals more than $150, you will need to be prepared to pay the difference and you will not be able to select the shipping option. You will need to come to the bookstore’s curbside pick up.

*Note that BSA funds are for your own personal use only! You may NOT purchase books using your BSA funds for anyone else.

If your name is NOT on the summer book award list, if you experience any problems with your EOPS/ Rising Scholars BSA account, or if have any issues that requires immediate attention, please send an email to the Program Manager Yadira De La Cruz ydelacruz@fullcoll.edu.

Educational Supplies

FREE educational supplies (school supplies) are available to all Rising Scholar students. These items are available for one time pick-up, each semester that you are in the program.

*Instructions for fall 2023 TBA*

Lending Library

The EOPS Office works closely with the Fullerton College Library to provide additional benefits for our students. We try to stock Books, Calculators, and Online Access Codes that are in high demand so that our students can borrow these items for the semester (Access codes can be kept and do not need to be returned). It is recommended that EOPS students first check for their items in the Lending Library prior to spending their Book Service Award. If the items are available in the library, you can use your BSA funds for any other additional textbooks that you may need!

*Instructions for fall 2023 TBA*
