GLMA Mini Grants are available for the 2004-2005 school year.
You can find the application on the GLMA Web site under Awards
and Grants. This is a great opportunity to fund an idea that will
help you have an exemplary program in your media center. This
is one of the easiest grant applications that you will ever find.
The application is only one and a half pages long. Grants are
judged on six criteria:
Quality
Innovativeness
Clear objective
Benefit of project to students
Budget
Evaluation plan.
Three grants will be awarded in the amount of $300 - $500. The
deadline for submitting the application is May 15, 2004.
In order to apply for one of the grants you must be a current
GLMA member and have been a GLMA member last year as well. Grant
recipients must agree to participate in a concurrent workshop
along with other grant recipients at a COMO convention to share
the merits of their projects.
