Description of Course
Are you ready to take your grant writing skills to th next level? That's exactly what MTI's How to Perfect Grant Proposals is designed to help you do. If you're looking for a way to perfect your grant writing skills, this class is for you! In this special "hands-on" program led by professional grant writing consultant, Dr. Bob Zeanah, participants will learn how to refine their grant writing style.
This interactive class works on editing skills that participants can take back with them to their offices and utilize throughout their writing. Some of the class is a review of important grammar learned in school, but forgotten. However, most of the class teaches how to writing to make grant proposals easier to read and better quality writing. Examples of good writers are used to reinforce topics.
During the course of this class, you will learn creative ways to edit your writing to make your words stronger, eliminate weaknesses, make your writing crisper, and refresh your memory on the important things your high school English teacher taught you. The class will cover how to structure the 'most important sentence' in your grant application, words to avoid, and how editing will make a more powerful and readable grant.
Note: Due to the unique format of this class, you will need to bring a grant that you are currently working on or one that you've completed in the past to class, either on your own laptop or on a thumb drive (in Microsoft Word or a text file). You'll have an opportunity to work on polishing the grant that you bring with you during the class, with individual assistance and feedback from the instructor.
