All about Scholastic Dollars

What are Scholastic Dollars?

When you host a Scholastic Book Fair, your school earns Scholastic Dollars, a profit balance that gives you more bang for your buck. Your school can earn up to 50% more than cash with Scholastic Dollars! Use them to buy books, educational resources, furniture…pretty much everything you need for your classroom or school. You can even earn extra Scholastic Dollars just for promoting your school's Fair!
