Book Award Program
Are you a 18JAV alum looking to give back to your RI high school?
Sponsor an Incoming First-Year 18JAV Student from Your Alma Mater
A chosen high school senior will receive a:
- Barnes & Nobles gift card to purchase books for their class/es
- Certificate
- Open Books - Open Minds book of the year
Please Note: If your high school doesn't have an incoming first-year student, with your consultation we will offer the sponsorship to another student in Rhode Island who is planning on attending 18JAV.
Stay tuned for our 2025 sponsoring opportunity!
