Instructional Minigrants support teaching by making funds available for activities and pedagogies that fall outside of departmental operating budgets. Instructional Minigrants provide quick access to modest funds (maximum $500) for small-scale projects. Faculty are eligible to receive one mini-grant per fiscal year. Funds may be used to revise aspects, strategies, or procedures of current courses, develop new courses, add new activities/approaches to courses, or to assess curricular needs. Any questions about proposals can be directed to acadean@stlawu.edu (or SLU x5998).
