Victoria College receives $25,000 grant to make humanities courses more affordable

Victoria Advocate

Victoria College has been awarded a $25,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to make free, open educational resources – or OER materials – available to students in select history, speech and music courses. 

Open educational resources are free, openly licensed course materials created or adapted by faculty that align with state curriculum. 

VC was chosen by NEH as one of the 22 recipients out of 94 nationwide applicants to receive a Spotlight on Humanities in Higher Education grant. VC’s Open Educational Resources Exploration Project aims to reduce expenses for humanities courses by eliminating the cost of textbooks for students.
