Nominate your class for the 2026 FlatWorld Textbook Scholarship!

We are committed to our mission of making high-quality learning materials affordable for all students. In Fall 2026, FlatWorld will award free textbooks, including access to FlatWorld Homework, to one professor’s class for an entire academic year.

FlatWorld Scholarship's Impact

“Committed to student success, our University is working to reduce textbook costs. For our introductory entrepreneurship class, we’ve been using a no-cost edition that will soon be discontinued. Free access to Entrepreneurship 2.0 will ensure its ongoing use, while equipping our students with high-quality resources for success.”

– Professor Cintya Gajardo-Vejar and 2025 FlatWorld Scholarship Winner

"This course is a social-behavioral general education course, and as such, students from all majors can take this course as part of their general education requirements. We are trying to introduce as many students as possible to the importance of sustainability. The majority of our students are commuters, with many of them paying a portion of their way through school. Every semester I have students who struggle to pay for their textbooks. This scholarship will free our students from the stress of purchasing their textbooks and ensure everyone in our classrooms is equipped with the materials they need to have a successful semester."

"I am so grateful for the support Flatworld is providing my Heidelberg University students. There are so many barriers in successfully navigating college. Textbooks shouldn't be one of those barriers. Thank you for supporting the student prices, and for providing accessible educational resources."

"Students at Mt. San Antonio College typically work, raise families, and continue their studies at the same time. Many of them are in the position where they need to choose between gasoline for the car or textbooks for their classes; this scholarship will ease the burden on over 100 advanced, transferring students. Biopsychology books in particular are some of the most expensive books on campus—this scholarship will be extremely welcome and appreciated. Thank you so much!"
