Tips on Applying for Grants and Scholarships

• Always, read the guidelines before you begin the application process
• Make note of the application due date and submit it, allowing time for mailing/internet issues
• Make a checklist of the guidelines that you can check off once completed, satisfy all the requirements
• Communicate clearly and precisely about the what, where, how, when and why
• Make sure you sell your program, not the organization
• Proofread the application
• Provide a complete list of other funding sources you have received or that are pending
• Be specific when writing the budget, double check your math
• Ask yourself these questions when writing: “Why should we give you money instead of another?” “What makes your project unique?”
