Through the Provost’s Affordable Course Materials Grant program, faculty members can receive $5,000 to support the transition from costly course materials such as textbooks to educational resources that are free for students or cost less than $40.
The Affordable Course Materials Grant program, which is being administered by the UGA Libraries and the Center for Teaching and Learning, is open to all full-time faculty.
In the first year of the grant program, distributed funds saved students $770,000 per year. The total annual savings to students increased to $1.3 million and $1.45 million in the second and third rounds of funding from the grant program.
Criteria
Grant submissions will be evaluated for impact (dollars saved/student and size of student population impacted) and sustainability of the project.
Eligibility
All full-time faculty (Academic Professionals, Instructors, Lecturers, Assistant, Associate, and Full Professors, etc.) may apply for this grant. Applications from teams (e.g. groups of instructors teaching the same course) also will be accepted.
