Finding and competing for those funds will take time and hard work, but success will help you enrich your school programs through unique school-wide or classroom projects and professional development for teachers and administrators. This web page will get you started by telling you where to look, giving you tips on writing successful grants and, if you are a Tennessee public school or school district, telling you how to arrange for free grant-writing workshops. Check this site often for more information and new funding opportunities.
Good planning is the secret of good grant writing.
Federal programs change very little from year to year. For competitions not open yet, download last year's application and start planning. Take time to browse this site. Links to resources for teachers, students, parents and administrators are too numerous to list. If you are not ready to apply for funds this year or if the closing date for a program that interests you has passed, you can begin planning for next year.
