The openTXST grant is an opportunity for faculty and staff to get support as they transform their projects or courses into experiences based on Open Educational Resources (OER). Applications are currently being accepted through Friday, April 18th.

- Alignment with student success initiatives
- Projects that offer unique opportunities at Texas State
Projects submissions are being accepted at different focus levels.
