How much money do cadets get paid each semester or year for books? Is it true that the excess money is ours? If that's the case, I will probably CAREFULLY buy the correct books, used and save the rest of the money. Is that possible?
My son is a plebe. For first semester all books are paid for. Next semester then he has to purchase books. The stipend that he has not used since August would be enough to pay for books. The instructors will let them know books to purchase in advance from what I understand.How much money do cadets get paid each semester or year for books? Is it true that the excess money is ours?

Well.... DS is a Cow and he just discovered that he had an account where the Academy was depositing the book money. He didn't know about the account which has several thousand dollars in it. He said he hasn't been purchasing books. Don't ask me how you take classes without having the books because I wouldn't have been able to do that, but somehow he has done well academically. I'm with you. Buy the books.You’ll receive a book stipend based on class year and course load every semester except your first when the Academt will purchase your books for you. It’s a couple hundred dollars and more than enough to cover your books because it’s based on if you purchased them through the Academy book store new. If you’re smart, you can pocket a great deal of it if you’re buying used but don’t be that cadet who doesn’t buy their books. You’re there to learn. Be smart about it.
