"As independent booksellers, we occupy a very unique space in the marketplace. The opportunity that Heartland Fall Forum allows for us to come together, check-in, and discover what's working with fellow booksellers in our region is vital to the continued growth or our community." - Michelle Shaver, Carmichael’s Bookstore

​We understand the financial challenges of funding trade show travel, so we work with publishers of all sizes to create a scholarship fund for booksellers from GLIBA and MIBA. All current GLIBA and MIBA members are welcome to apply.

Scholarships are $600!

• We award as many scholarships as we receive funding to support
• We accept two applications per store
• Factors in determining scholarships are distance of travel, diversity, store age, previous Heartland attendance, previous scholarships, participation in education and Heartland programming
• The deadline to apply is Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
• Winners will be announced end of August.
