This document provides guidance on writing successful grant proposals. It outlines key elements to include such as a problem statement, goals and objectives, budget, and evaluation plan. Advice is given to carefully read guidelines, follow directions, and use examples from previously funded grants. Priority is given to proposals that impact many students, can continue without repeat funding, and clearly demonstrate outcomes. Common reasons for rejection include not adhering to criteria or containing errors.
This document outlines the components and process for writing an effective grant proposal. It discusses gathering background information about the organization, program, expenses, and need. The main components of a proposal include an executive summary, needs statement, program description, evaluation plan, budget, organizational experience, and appendices. The program description explains objectives, methods, staffing, and sustainability. An effective evaluation plan measures outcomes, collects and analyzes data, and reports results. The budget identifies expenses and revenue sources. The conclusion and appendices complete the proposal.

The document provides guidance on appealing a financial aid award letter. It advises that accepting an award letter does not commit a student to attending the school and allows for appealing future awards. It recommends having a college advisor evaluate multiple award letters to determine the best offer. Award letters should be appealed to the financial aid officer (FAO) if the amounts do not match what the school advertises or if the family's needs are not met. It also asks how private scholarships from Connecticut are treated in award letters.
This document discusses appealing a financial aid award letter if it does not meet expectations. It recommends comparing award letters to decide the best offer and see if the amounts match what the school advertises for need, merit, and self-help percentages. If not, the letter should be appealed to the financial aid officer. Specific family circumstances or questions about how outside scholarships are handled can also be reasons to appeal an award letter.

Grant Writing without Blowing a Gasket
By Alicia Vandenbroek
WHY SHOULD I FUNDRAISE?
No one woke up this morning asking for a budget
cut, but the harsh reality is that in todays eœnomic
downturn it is becoming more and more common.
Even libraries seen as a vital pan of the educational
process are subject to reductions becatise districts are
suffering financially Just as you've been tightening
your personal finances, schools face the conundrum
of funding exceptional programs with inadequate
funding. The answer? Grants, They aren't a perfect
solution, but there is a lot of financial support
available for those who ask.
Besides the monetary gain, one commonly
overlooked reward of grant funding is campus
revitalization. This renewal comes in several forms.
Other teachers are encouraged by your success and
willing to take risks. Sometimes those risks involve
using the materials you've acquired through your
grant, and sometimes the risks involve funding
for their own creative projects. Grants typically
allow students access to a unique experience. This
experience makes them broader educationally
and usually involves a cross curricular project that
develops lifelong learning,
BEGINWITHTHEENDINMIND
Beginning a grant can seem overwhelming if you
don't break it into manageable pieces. Always start
with the end in mind. In other words, what do you
want? This can be money, supplies, experiences, and
so on. Find the best deal by pricing these items in
advance. Be honest with vendors so they know you
might not actually place an order, but work out a deal
that gets you the most value.
After you know exacdy what you want, be creative
and find a way to use those items or experiences
in a student-friendly manner that direcdy supports
curricultun. For the most part grants are geared
toward directly impacting education; therefore, your
proposal must be educationally sound. Be careful not
to over commit yourself; this is the voice of grants
gone badly talking. You don't have to build the
space shutde, just engage and educate your students.
Sometimes less really is more. Focus on your strengths
or areas you would like to become your strengths. For
example, I'm kind of a tech nerd, so a lot of times
my grants focus on Web 2,0 tools and projects. If
technology scares you (yes, I know you are out there)
then focus on a different form of grant until you have
had time to increase your technology prowess and feel
comfortable taking on more challenging projects.
Check your progress:
O What supplies, projects, or experiences do you
hope to gain?
O What classroom/library goals do those supplies,
projects, or experiences support?
0 Does the grant provide opportunities to be
successful or highlight my skills?

Supported by a national group of partner organizations, the Assessment for Learning Project is a multi-year grant program and field-building initiative inviting educators to fundamentally rethink the roles that assessment should play to advance student learning and to improve our K-12 education system.
Grant recipients receive awards ranging from $50,000 to $225,000, along with personalized technical assistance, high-quality learning experiences and access to a national community of practice, all aimed at catalyzing new and improving on promising efforts in assessment design.
Over the next two years, we’ll be gathering and synthesizing insights from our grantees and other innovative educators. And those insights will lead to new questions and deeper explorations of these issues. In other words, our learning agenda is intended to catalyze an ongoing conversation on how we can #rethinkassessment.

Request for funding (budget)
Commitment (evaluation)
4. Read (and reread) the grant guidelines carefully
before beginning to write out your proposal. The
more specifically your project can address the
requirements of the grant, the more likely you will
be to receive funding.
Return to the grant guidelines throughout the
writing process, and again before submission.

6. The problem statement explains the reason for your request to
the funding organization. It identifies a problem and describes
the ways in which you aim to address it through your project.
The problem statement should prove that you have a thorough
understanding of the issue, and that the issue can be improved
by the implementation of your proposed plan within the time-
frame of the granting organization.

7. “Project Goals” are general statements of purpose for
what you are attempting to accomplish.
“Project Objectives” are specific and measurable, and
will allow you to quantify the results of your project.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CLEARLY ARTICULATE
THESE CONCEPTS. IF YOU CANNOT, YOUR
GRANT IS UNLIKELY TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
BE FUNDED.
9. Your budget is one of the most important sections
of the grant.
Funders need to see that you have a specific plan
for the entire amount of money requested, that the
entire sum is necessary for meeting your project
objectives, and that you will be a responsible
steward of their investment.
10. “In-kind” items are items that are not considered by their
cash value. The donation of time, services, facilities, or
equipment would be considered “in-kind.”
“Line-item” refers to pricing each individual element of
your budget. (For example, if you request money to buy
science supplies for your classroom, a line-item budget
would list each piece of equipment and it’s cost rather than
simply saying “science supplies, $500.00.)
All budgets should include in-kind items and be in line-
item form, unless otherwise directed. Budgets should also
include information on monies or donations coming from
other sources but going to the same project.
11. Show your funders that you will
be able to prove their investment
was well spent!
12. Clearly explain your evaluation methods in the
grant submission.
Include the following:
◦ What data will you collect for study at the completion of
the project?
◦ What instruments and methods will be used for analysis?
◦ Who will do the evaluation?
◦ How will you define success?
13. Funders are usually happy
to help – after all, they
want to receive the best
possible grant that you can
write!
