Submitted by Ashley Nietfeld

The Open/Alternative Textbook Initiative is accepting applications for the fall 2024 round of grants.

The deadline is 8 a.m. on Dec. 6. Applications can be submitted via this Qualtrics form.

The initiative provides grants between $2,000-$10,000 for instructors to adopt, adapt or create open educational resources for their classrooms. It aims to make education more affordable for K-State students. Since its launch in 2013, the initiative has saved students more $10 million.

The Open/Alternative Textbook Initiative committee will host several hybrid information sessions. Attendees will learn more about the program and resources available to support the adoption or creation of open educational resources.
