The Office of Grants and Scholarships was established in August 2018. Our goal is to pursue major grants to support institutional priorities and initiatives. We help faculty members find external funding to advance their research and teaching. We also help our graduates identify and apply for scholarships for further graduate studies.
Our staff is able to assist you with the following:
• discuss project ideas
• suggest funding sources or ways to identify funding sources
• demonstrate how to use funding databases
• help interpret application guidelines
• advise you during the early stages of narrative and budget development
• serve as educated general readers of proposal drafts
• facilitate the internal review of proposals and submission of grant proposals
• manage grants once awarded from sponsors
