Update to Open Education Foundation and Sustainability Grants Criteria
by Arianna Cheveldave 15 May '20

15 May '20

Dear colleagues, In light of the financial constraints being faced by B.C.'s post-secondary institutions during the current pandemic, BCcampus has decided to remove the requirement that applicants to the Open Education Foundation Grant for Institutions<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/open-education-foundation-gr…> and the Sustainability Grant for Institutions<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/bccampus-open-education-sust…> must secure matching funds from their institutions equal to the grant total. These grants' calls for proposals have been updated to reflect this change. If an applicant's institution is willing and able to provide in-kind and/or financial contributions to their proposed project, this information should be included on the grant application. Sent on behalf of Lauri Aesoph, Manager, Open Education.
