Book Publication Subvention Application Form

The Book Publication Subvention Fund was established to provide faculty with the opportunity to apply for subvention funding to assist with the costs of scholarly publication. These subventions guarantee that scholarly works of significance by GVSU faculty can be published even if the prospective audience is limited. Subventions are considered particularly applicable in cases where publication costs are unusually high due to artwork, permissions, and other special production elements.
