Guidelines:
• The OEFF is open to any GCC instructor. Adjunct faculty are encouraged to apply.
• Multiple grants to one faculty member will be considered. Please complete an application for each course.
• If you're applying as a group, your award amount will be determined based on the scope of the project, the number of people involved, and funds available.
• New and existing courses are eligible. Updates to courses that already use free materials will be considered if funding allows.
• Proposals that integrate free materials will receive priority. Proposals that significantly lower costs for student will be considered, if funding allows.
• Students may be given the option to purchase low-cost print textbooks to supplement free electronic textbooks.
Applications will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
• Viability: An applicant’s plan demonstrates that appropriate materials exist or can be created.
