Scholarships
Seminar scholarships
Every year for more than a decade we have funded places at the Colorado, now CABS-Minnesota, and York Antiquarian Book Seminars. More than forty booksellers have gone on a Bibliopolis scholarship. Each one covers registration, room and board in full. The seminars themselves take the applications and choose the recipients, which is how it should be, so the links below go to them rather than to a form here.
York Antiquarian Book Seminar

The 2026 scholarship has been awarded. Applications open each spring.
Bibliopolis funds one scholarship a year covering the full cost of registration, room and board at YABS. Applicants send a resume and an essay saying why they want to attend. Preference goes to those who demonstrate need.

For graduates
Every graduate gets the discount, not just the ones we funded
Setup and service are half price for anybody who has graduated from either seminar, whether we paid for your place or you paid for it yourself, and whether you graduated this summer or twenty years ago. There is no deadline on it and there never has been.
It applies to BookRouter on its own or to a full Octavo website, and it carries three months of free service either way.
Graduated from CABS or YABS?
Tell us which seminar and which year and we will apply the discount to whatever you set up. Scholarship applications go to the seminars directly, and both open in the spring.
