Faculty of ArtDo you have a community project in need of funding? Are you interested in applying for a non-research grant, but don’t know how to find them? Do you wonder how to make yourself a strong applicant as a graduate student?
Non-research grants will typically fund projects such as community partnerships or arts and culture initiatives that are not related to academic research. These projects can be rewarding experiences and strengthen any resumé or CV, regardless of whether you choose to pursue a tenure-track job. As a graduate student, you’re already skilled at crafting compelling arguments, but non-research grants differ from academic writing and require time, coordination, and knowledge of the grant genre.
This presentation will discuss strategies for applying for non-research grants as a graduate student. Topics will include: identifying grants available to graduate students; demonstrating capability and feasibility in a proposal; coordinating and managing a grant application; and writing tips for crafting a compelling project description.
All graduate students in the Arts are welcome to attend.
