Applications will be accepted until June 1
Kelly Collins, v-p, communications & community, Macmillan, said, "For 30 years, Binc has been a lifeline for booksellers when it matters most. At Macmillan Publishers, we're proud to partner on this scholarship, helping booksellers grow their careers, connect with one another, and deepen the impact they have in their communities."
