Six faculty projects have been selected for Walker Library’s third round of Affordable Course Materials Grants. The continued interest in the program reflects MTSU faculty’s commitment to reducing the cost of course materials while providing students with high-quality resources that support student success.

Together, these projects are expected to save MTSU students more than $79,000 each year while expanding access to affordable and open course materials.
