KENNESAW, Ga. | Apr 1, 2021

Kennesaw State University earned the most grants of any state institution in the latest round of funding from Affordable Learning Georgia (ALG). Three of the grants were awarded to faculty members in the Radow College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

An initiative of virtual library GALILEO and the University System of Georgia, ALG grants increase the availability of affordable alternatives to expensive commercial textbooks.

“We were thrilled to see so many excellent projects proposed this grant round, especially after what has been a difficult year,” said Lucy Harrison, assistant vice chancellor for academic library services at the University System of Georgia and executive director for GALILEO. “We’re proud to be able to support these faculty as they create new learning opportunities and lower costs for students.”

ALG’s grants for KSU proposals ranged from $2,800 to nearly $30,000. The RCHSS faculty members awarded include:

• Christine Harkreader, English
• Ginny Zhan, psychology
• Ulrike Ingram, geography and anthropology

Since its inception, the grant program has awarded more than $6 million. In the most recent round of awards, ALG awarded $507,498 in funding for 39 proposals on topics including economics, math, management, film and more from 14 USG institutions.
