Abstract

Do you need money to enhance your school counseling program? Grant writing seems scary, but it does not have to be. In this step-by-step grant writing seminar, you will learn how to find, evaluate, and write successful grant proposals to buy evidence-based programming, build your resource library, or begin an innovative new program. Resources will be provided.

Description

School counselors may often find themselves desiring additional funding to enhance their comprehensive school counseling program. This session explores the opportunities that grant writing could provide for school counselors, outlining the steps in the process of writing, obtaining, and executing grants. The focus will be on finding grant opportunities and writing successful grant proposals that will help school counselors fund specific projects or programs in their school.

As a result of this program, participants will:

  1. Learn the steps of the grant process,
  2. Be aware of available resources to find grant opportunities,
  3. Learn how to evaluate grant opportunities, and
  4. Understand what makes a strong grant proposal.

We intend for this session to be interactive, and will give the participants opportunities to discuss their own ideas in small groups and with the entire group. This session will have a seminar-style format in which we will provide information pertaining to grant writing that participants will be able to discuss and apply to the unique needs of their school counseling program.

We will provide a few handouts to participants that will include:

  1. An overview of the steps of the grant writing process,
  2. A list of online resources that house grant opportunities, and
  3. A list of resources for further learning related to grant writing.
