Grants from other Rowan Entities
Rowan University Textbook Alternative Program (TAP) - Due 5/15/24 by 5pm
Rowan's Affordability Task Force is pleased to announce the 2024 Textbook Alternative Program (TAP) grant opportunity is now open!
Faculty and staff members can apply for a $2,000 grant 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.
This opportunity is generously supported through the Provost Office. 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. Click here to view the projects from previous TAP Grant recipients.
To apply, please complete this form by Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 5pm.
