Apply for a Smathers Libraries Mini Grant up to $5,000.00.
The University of Florida Smathers Libraries Mini Grants Program is open to all library
staff (except OPS). This program has been designed to provide a supportive environment for novices
who wish to gain experience conceptualizing, writing, and administering grant projects.
Successful grant projects are competitively selected. They are funded and administered internally by the
University of Florida Libraries Grant Management Committee.
The Mini Grant Program is intended to replicate, as much as possible, the process/system currently
in place for grant proposals which are submitted to outside funding agencies.
