Tips for a Successful Grant Application
Make sure your project is appropriate. Can you answer yes to the following questions:
- Does it benefit the students you serve?
- Can it be done in the time frame allowed?
- Is it practical?
- Is the language clear, concise and easy for someone outside of education to understand?
Important Items to Remember
- Projects should not exist merely to purchase equipment or supplies. The purpose is to enhance education of the students.
- Submit your application on time.
- Attend a Grant Writing workshop facilitated by APEF members.
- Make sure name and campus are on the cover sheet only.
- Make sure language used can be understood by non-educators.
- Be specific and thorough in figuring cost of materials and supplies needed.
- List costs for any labor needed for the project.
