Townsend Press Cash Scholarships Available Just for Reading Books

How would you like to receive a scholarship award for reading books? Townsend Press offers cash scholarships to RACC students. 

Research has proven that regular reading makes students better readers, writers, speakers, listeners, and thinkers. Regular readers score higher on standardized tests, and they greatly increase their chances for school and job success.

For every ten books you read, you will be awarded $100. You can read as many as 40 books and you'll receive a total of $400. Townsend Press supplies the books and you get to keep them!

The cash scholarships are awarded directly to you by Townsend Press. Here's what you need to do:

• Visit Donald Bertram, the Townsend Press Reading Coordinator, in The Yocum Library on the second floor. He   will give you books to read. 
• When you are finished reading the books, visit Mr. Bertram and he will talk to you briefly about each book to confirm that you have read it. 
• Then he'll give you two more books to read.

Mr. Bertram is available in the library on Mondays and  Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Tuesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Why a College Reading Contest? 

A surprising number of first-year college students admit that they have never read a book from cover to cover in their lives. Even more students say that they do not make a habit of reading.

        But the enormous benefits of regular reading are beyond dispute. Research has proven that regular reading makes students better readers, writers, speakers, listeners, and thinkers. Regular readers score higher on standardized tests, and they greatly increase their chances for school and job success.

        If you want to experience the benefits of reading, here is a contest that will help you do so.
