Learning is individual and self-paced.  Students will be assigned an online instructor who is a Certified Grant Writer® with experience administering government, foundation and corporate grants.  The instructor will send course materials and assignments to the student by e-mail and the student will send completed assignments to the instructor by e-mail.  Students must complete one section before the next section is forwarded to him/her.  Students will have 4 months to complete all of the assignments, but most students complete the assignments in 3-4 weeks.  If needed, a 90-day extension is available for $100.  Upon successful completion of all course assignments and submission of the course evaluation the student will be mailed a Certificate of Completion.

Registration is $499 per person.

Prerequisite:  A Bachelor's Degree is recommended, but not required.  No prior grant management experience is required.

Students will need a computer with any operating system and internet access.  Software needed is MS Word, Excel and Adobe Reader.  Students will also need an e-mail address.
