The Veterans Textbook Donation Program helps to bring college textbooks to student veterans or students in the care of someone who has served in the military, lifting a great financial weight from their shoulders.

Since 2010, the Veterans Textbook Donation Program has been successfully assisting students with borrowing books free of charge every semester.
Robert Mayer, military veteran and the Director of Veteran Services, has been in charge of the program since 2014.
“Doesn’t matter what ranking or branch or service, they will tell you the wrong information,” Mayer said. Referencing the many students who are unaware of all the benefits they can reap once getting into college, Mayer stated that there have been plenty of occasions where students are coming straight from serving and are misled on their educational path.
