Textbooks For Troops Lending Library


WKU Textbooks For Troops™ (T4T) lending library is one of the LARGEST programs of its kind in the NATION.

Text Books For Truth

This lending library is for military, veterans, and eligible dependent students enrolled in WKU courses who do not receive a book stipend/scholarship. DOD High School juniors and seniors enrolled in a Dual Credit class are also eligible. Books are loaned on a semester basis, and due on the last day of finals week.  OnDemand book loans are due as soon as the class is complete.

Update: Due to limited funding, starting Winter and Spring 2025 semesters we will be processing a $72 Textbooks for Troops scholarship to your student billing account for eligible students who request assistance through Textbooks for Troops. This will cover one 3 credit hour class for those using Big Red Backpack. If you stay enrolled in Big Red Backpack and have additional classes you will be responsible for the Big Red Backpack fee over the $72 amount covered by the scholarship. If you decide to opt-out of Big Red Backpack, you may still receive the scholarship to your account and you may still request physical books from our Textbooks for Troops program, but we can only assist with physical books we currently have in our library, and we can NOT assist with access codes. If we help you with all your books needs, or your course does not require a book, we will NOT post the scholarship. 

Requests are processed in the order they are received, and while funding remains. Once we reach our funding cap for the semester, or the deadline for submission passes, the form will be turned off and no late request will be approved.

Post 9/11 GI Bill® recipients, Voc. Rehab recipients and some ROTC scholarships award winners may not be eligible to participate because books, or a book stipend, are provided in those programs.
