4 Grants Grants Understanding the subject of grants is important. It can give you power and make you more valuable as an educator. After all, the master s degree in education you are pursuing is supposed to mean that you are a master of education. But education is imperfect and imcomplete as a subject and an art. You can be properly equipped to improve education and then use that equipment to work on genuine improvement.
Grants are a major tool for the improving of education.
In a simplified but still valuable picture, grants can supply the funds to obtain better materials and machines, hire more faculty, go on trips or whatever is needed to improve education. This picture is simple because It may be unclear what would improve a particular educational enterprise or project. No source of funds may even be found that will even accept requests for what is needed, much less grant the funds desired. Requests for funds are turned down most of the time and rarely granted. Real grant applications require investigation and planning.
