What is the Grammarly for Education pilot program?
The Grammarly for Education pilot program will grant licensing to students, faculty, and staff for one year.

Throughout the program, LTS will be conducting surveys and focus groups to collect feedback and input from the community to understand Grammarly’s impact at UIC.
