Textbook Vouchers
Students receiving financial aid assistance account for a large volume of the sales through FRC Bookstore. There are several programs on-campus and off-campus to help with costs of textbooks and school supplies, including: EOPS, Student Equity and Achievement, CalWorks, Veterans Services, Department of Rehabilitation, Workability, Burton and Alliance for Workforce Development.
When a student is approved for an on-campus program, then the student can shop with their voucher at the FRC Bookstore only. By submitting your Textbook Adoption Form on-time, you are helping this population and all students to be better prepared so they can find their required materials on the shelves by the beginning of the semester.
Zero Textbook Cost & Low Textbook Cost (under $30)
Please submit your Textbook Adoption Form and include the weblink to the electronic materials, such as a pdf to a free online textbook.
