1

The University System of Ohio Textbook Affordability Grant program makes $250,000 available to faculty teams that develop, build, and package collections of course materials offered free to students. Find out more.
2

Faculty Innovator Awards

Awarded annually to University System of Ohio faculty members and teams recognized for work they have done to introduce digital course materials in the classroom that enrich learning and make college textbooks more affordable for their students.
