In October 2021, the Viking OER and Textbook Affordability Initiative invited faculty members to apply for $500 mini grants to support "zero cost" courses, where the total cost of course materials for students is $0. Instructors who had developed "zero cost" courses and are teaching those courses in Fall 2021 and/or Spring 2022 were eligible to apply for the award by November 15, 2021.
