The Mosaic Mini-Grant supports learning wherever it takes place by providing funding to student projects, experiences, and events that promote self-exploration, experimentation, and meaning-making outside of the classroom. Mini-Grant recipients are required to complete a reflection project, due two weeks after the completion of the experience. Reflections can include an essay, vlog, podcast, social media post, artwork, or any original idea that demonstrates thoughtful reflection.
