Tips+on+Writing+Grants

=__**Educational Grant Writing:**__= Dream---Sell your need! Look the gaps in education or materials. How much more could you do with your art class if you were able to purchase that new piece of equipment? How many more students could be involved with the learning process if you could buy that computer software package?

Permission--- It is imperative permission is granted from your administrator. Often times, you will need a signature of approval.

Writing the Grant--- Write a VERY detailed plan of how you expect to use the funding. The following are crucial components:
 * Individuals being served
 * Program specifics
 * Impact in education
 * How does this fulfill a need?
 * One-time request/ Recurring need?
 * How will the success be measured?
