Up to 50 teachers will be selected for the grants.

We welcome applications from any current educator that serves as an instructor of record for their class. Instructor of record is any teacher or staff member employed to teach courses and authorize credit for the successful completion of those courses.

Yes, you can still apply as long as the project objectives remain similar. Please note in your application if you are unsure of which class you will be teaching.

Yes, funded projects may be part of traditional, hybrid, or distance-learning courses as long as the project promotes digital learning and pedagogy.

Unfortunately, co-funded projects are currently not eligible for the Course Hero Teaching Grants program.

Course Hero is partnering with Scholarship America to administer and manage this grant program's application and award fulfillment.

Decisions will be announced over email by late June 2022. Funds will be distributed to grant recipients in early July.

Funds will be distributed to educators directly via check by our grant partner Scholarship America shortly after the recipients have been notified and all required documentation is submitted and processed.

Personal income tax will apply to the educators' grant funds. However, recipients may be able to claim a deduction for expenses on the individual income tax return and should consult with their tax advisor. This deduction is limited to $250.

Recipients may be eligible for a deduction of up to $250 of unreimbursed trade or business expenses, which can be used to offset the grant income you receive from Course Hero. Qualified expenses are amounts you paid or incurred for books, supplies, computer equipment (including related software and services), other equipment, and supplementary materials you use in the classroom. This deduction is for expenses paid or incurred during the tax year. Please consult with your tax advisor on the appropriate tax treatment and any specific tax questions you may have.

Yes, educators maintain the copyright on all materials developed for their courses.

Recipients will be expected to provide a reflection on the project impact in January 2023. Templates will be provided at the beginning of the grant period. The reflection will include the ability to attach deliverables that convey project details and outcomes. Recipients will be invited to participate in an optional virtual “check-in” to discuss project progress with the Course Hero educator team.
