The American Booksellers Association is eager to announce the 73 winners of scholarships to Winter Institute 2024 (Wi2024) in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The awards cover the conference fee, a 5-night stay at the host hotel, and up to $600 in travel expenses to the February 11–14 event at the Duke Energy Convention Center.
Individual Wi2024 scholarship recipients are not matched with individual sponsors; instead, a portion of total fees raised by Wi2024 sponsorships are dedicated to funding as many bookseller scholarships for as many new and different stores as possible.
