IWV Campus Offers Community Education Grant Writing Seminar
March 18, 2009
Cerro Coso Community College is offering a Community Education "Grant
Writing Seminar" which will meet on Tuesday evenings April 21, April 28, and
May 5, 2009 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This class will meet in Cerro
Coso's Learning Resource Center, Room 709. There is a $50.00 community
education fee for this course. Grant writing is an activity that requires
global vision, a comprehensive plan, as well as great attention to detail.
This grant writing course will take students through the grant writing
process including creating the vision, identifying potential grant projects,
developing funding sources, utilizing scoring rubrics, writing the
narrative, creating the budget, evaluation, and sustainability issues.
Helpful strategies to avoid a wide range of grant mistakes will also be
covered.
Information will be presented in an interactive manner and will include
writing activities that will allow individuals and organizations to develop
products that can be used in a grant application. Participants should bring
a USB storage device to store work products as well as any documents already
created for grant and proposal writing (i.e. mission, goals.)
This "Grant Writing Seminar" will be instructed by Laura Hickle, Coordinator
of Special Projects for the local school district. She has extensive
experience in the management of projects, budgets and evaluation. As the
primary grant writer for the school district, she has written thirteen
successful grants in the last 18 months ranging from $10,000 up to $3
million dollars.
This special workshop is limited to 24 students to insure plenty of one on
one attention. Student registrations forms can be found at:
