Description
The College of Southern Idaho (CSI) Foundation Mini Grant program provides small-scale funding to CSI faculty, staff, and administration to launch new and innovative projects that cannot be supported through regular college resources. Projects must demonstrate a positive impact on a significant number of individuals, support the student learning process, and align with both the CSI Strategic Plan and the Strategic Enrollment Management Plan. Typical uses for funds include supplies, equipment, consultants, technical assistance, registration fees, and CSI-hosted special event sponsorships. Recipients are required to present a thank-you letter to the Foundation’s Board of Directors upon completion.
