Passport to Books

Incoming Tigers Can Earn a $500 Book Award

The Office of Admission is excited to offer Passport to Books, which provides a $500 book award to incoming students enrolling for the 2022 fall semester. To be eligible, students must:

  • Submit the FAFSA to Wittenberg by March 1, 2022
  • Visit Wittenberg by April 1, 2022
  • Submit the $400 enrollment deposit by May 1, 2022
  • Attend new student orientation

Students can visit campus and attend orientation, either in person or virtually. Virtual visits must be an official virtual visit with an admission counselor. If a student visited campus prior to their senior year, this visit will count toward their Passport to Books.

The book award is not renewable and is only good for fall semester 2022. It will be applied to eligible student financial aid packages at the end of June or very early in July. The award will appear as part of the financial aid package and appear as a credit to the student’s billing account in August.

To use the book award, a student will need to go to the Barnes & Noble Bookstore on campus to purchase books. At the checkout, the student will charge the books to their student billing account. The book award will then pay toward the bookstore charge on the student billing account. Students cannot purchase books from another retailer to take advantage of the book award. Should book charges exceed $500, then the student will be responsible for paying any additional charges over and above the $500 book award.
