Grant Writing in the Humanities

Catalog description

Whether you find your life?s work in academia or the nonprofit world, grant writing is a vital skill for achieving your goals. Grant writing is best learned through actually doing it. This course will teach you the basic elements of proposals, how to structure them for different audiences and how to succinctly and effectively tell the story of your work. During the course of the semester, you will work on draft proposals for a foundation audience, a federal grant opportunity and a fellowship application. Additionally, students will also be asked to develop pieces outside of a typical narrative such as a budget justification, quality of project personnel, personal statement and research essay.
