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!

* To qualify for the Multiple-Fair Reward, a Fair must meet a sales threshold of $2,500. Online sales after your in-person Fair will be added to your Fair’s revenue and qualify towards the $2,500 threshold. Buy One, Get One Free (BOGO) Fairs qualify for the Multiple Fair Reward, though the additional 10% in Scholastic Dollars rewards applies only to online purchases, as in-person sales at BOGO Fairs are ineligible for the profit and rewards program. Fairs must be held between August 1, 2023 and July 31, 2024
