One-time funding of $500,000 will support funding for textbook affordability, specifically for developing and offering courses to implement the Z-Degree (zero-textbook-cost degree). The leveraged equipment acquisition program will receive an additional $500,000 in funds to support the acquisition of state-of-the-art instructional equipment for credit-based academic programs that produce graduates in areas of high-demand occupations. An equipment acquisition may be made using the appropriation only if matched by cash or in-kind contributions from non-state sources.
