Bookstore Returns Approximately $1 Million to Boise State
Thanks in large part to the continued popularity of Bronco merchandise, the
Boise State Bookstore was able to return approximately $1 million in the
form of scholarships and support for the university operating budget.
The revenue generated from the Bookstore’s operations during the fiscal year
that ends this month helped support a $400,000 donation to the Boise State
Foundation’s academic scholarship endowment, $55,000 to institutional
research salaries, $55,000 to the university’s graduate assistantship
program, and $45,000 to the Graduate Residential Scholars Program. Other
funding went to operating support, merchandise donations and royalties the
Bookstore pays the university. The Bookstore receives no state
appropriations or student fees.
Sales of Bronco clothing and other merchandise continue to be strong, said
Bookstore director Kim Thomas, who noted that for the second straight year
Boise State is listed among the top 50 schools in royalties among schools
represented by Collegiate Licensing Company.
“We look forward to the continued success of the athletic programs, and the
continued support that the boosters, alumni, staff and students have shown
for the on-campus store,” said Thomas. “By shopping on campus, customers
have contributed to the accessibility of higher education. These sales help
all of Boise State, not just athletics.”
