  • Be sure to ask someone outside of education to read your proposal. Give them the scoring criteria/rubric. Have them look for jargon that a non-educator wouldn't be familiar with. Some grants have community members reading proposals.

  • Keep your grants student focused.

  • Be clear on what you will do with your new knowledge and how you will share your knowledge with colleagues.

  • Edit, edit, edit.

  • Answer the questions on the application.
