limited time scholarship OPPORTUNITY

The National Association of Black Bookstores (NAB²) is proud to launch a limited scholarship opportunity to cover membership dues for independent Black-owned bookstores and Black booksellers.

We recognize that the legacy of Black bookstores is one of resilience, culture, and community power. Through this scholarship, we not only want to expand access to the benefits of NAB² membership—but also uplift and share the stories of the people at the heart of this movement.
