Application Documents
- TAP DescriptionIn 2018, Rowan University’s Affordability Task Force issued five $2,000 grants to faculty members seeking to redesign their teaching materials with the use of library, free, and open resources that would lower the cost of course materials for Rowan students. This project is estimated to save Rowan students a total of $116,181 in the first year alone. This spring, 10 TAP grants have been awarded to faculty members which has the potential to impact over 10,000 students and save them 1.2 million in 2020 alone.
