Scholarships
Seminar scholarships
Every year for more than a decade, Bibliopolis has funded scholarships to the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar, now CABS-Minnesota, and the York Antiquarian Book Seminar. More than forty booksellers have attended on a Bibliopolis scholarship, and each one covers registration, room, and board in full.

For graduates
A discount for every seminar graduate
Every graduate of either seminar gets half off setup and three months of service free, whether you attended on a Bibliopolis scholarship or paid your own way, and whether you graduated this summer or twenty years ago. The discount does not expire.
It applies to BookRouter on its own or to a full Octavo website.
