This scholarship was established by John Franklin to honor his late wife Bonnie, who served as Assistant Vice President for Marketing and Communications at Ramapo College. In creating this scholarship, Mr. Franklin sought to honor Bonnie’s passion for reading, and how she instilled that passion in her children and grandchildren. He also sought to memorialize Bonnie’s devotion to family, children, education, art, literature and democratic values.

The scholarship’s purposes are to encourage and support students who are interested in children’s literature as a means of helping children develop intellectually and emotionally; the development of social and emotional intelligence as a part of our education system; advocating for children’s literature as a means of helping parents do a better job of reading to their children; advocating for children’s literature as a means of helping parents find their role in child development. Applicants must submit an 1-2 page essay addressing the scholarship’s purposes in the application essay that also describes how they would further the scholarship goals either through literacy volunteering, a course they are taking or another appropriate experience.
