Get up to $500 to Enhance Your
Teaching Experience!

Now in its second year, the eTech Mini Grant program is a great resource for faculty who would like to try a new educational technology in their undergraduate courses. By helping cover the cost of these tools, our goal is to support the exploration of technologies that enhance existing teaching practices and enable entirely new approaches.
