At FlatWorld, we believe one of the best ways to support educators is by ensuring their students can access the course materials they need. That's why we partnered with Dr. Suzanne Stambaugh at Austin Community College District to provide free Introduction to Psychology textbooks to her students for the 2022-2023 school year.

“As a community college, we often serve students who struggle with housing and food insecurity, and the cost of textbooks is a huge barrier to these students being able to get an education which will improve their lives, and the lives of their families. While a free textbook may not solve the systemic problems which we face, every small gesture helps, and sometimes a little respite can go a long way.”

We will open applications for next year's FlatWorld Textbook Scholarship Program in mid-October. In the meantime, you can learn more about this year's recipients here: bit.ly/3CtqbbN
