2024 Ashley Tapparo Memorial Bookshare Subscription Application

Ashley Tapparo was a bright young woman, talented artist, and cherished daughter, sister, and friend who dreamed of attending college and studying marine biology. Unfortunately, those dreams were not realized when Ashley passed away after a long battle with cancer. While undergoing her treatments, Ashley relied on Bookshare’s accessible ebook library to get books for her classes and pleasure reading.   

To honor Ashley’s life, giving spirit and legacy, Benetech is awarding up to ten free annual Bookshare subscriptions in her name to high school graduates in the US with a qualifying disability to help them pursue post-secondary and continuing education.

Who should apply for the reward?

  • Young adults who are not currently in school and whose education has been paused or interrupted due to any reason, such as illness, disability, or other life circumstances.
  • Must be eligible to receive Bookshare Membership. See criteria here.
