Grants from other Rowan Entities

Rowan University Textbook Alternative Program (TAP)

Faculty and staff members can apply for funds to help develop or adopt open-access/reduced cost course materials. To reduce the cost of course materials for students, TAP helps faculty and staff design, create, or adopt materials that are substantially less expensive or free for students. 

Since 2018, Rowan University’s Affordability Task Force has issued $2,000 grants to faculty members seeking to redesign their teaching materials using library, free, and open resources that would lower the cost of course materials for Rowan students. This opportunity is generously supported through the Provost's Office. 

To learn more about the Criteria, Application, and Deadlines visit the linked website.  

To learn more about the program and hear from a TAP grant awardee, visit go.rowan.edu/TAP, or watch this video in Rowan's Media Space.  

For questions or more information, please contact the TAP committee at TAP@rowan.edu.
