ENGL 255 — Introduction to Grant Writing * (3 Hours)
A successful grant writer possesses many different skills: from effective written communication and researching to project design and management. This course will introduce students who have never written a grant proposal before to this genre that blends storytelling and technical writing. Students will develop elements of a grant proposal, including a Statement of Need, a Logic Model, a Project Timeline, a Sustainability Statement, and a Budget Narrative. Students will rehearse effective research and persuasive writing skills. By the end of the semester, students should have written approximately 5,000 words in revised and edited proposals.
