We have enough money, we don’t need grants! … Said no school psychologist, ever. Grant funding is out there and can make a big difference for your school site. But how do you find grants, how do you get them, and how do you manage them? The answers to those questions, and a whole lot more, will be covered in this interactive webinar. Follow along the grant writing process, from deciding to pursue a grant all the way to writing your final report. You’ll leave armed with the knowledge you need to decide whether grant writing is for you – and if the answer is yes, you’ll have the tools you need to get started.
This overview session will be followed by additional sessions that dive deeper into various aspects of the grant process. This webinar is recommended for experienced school psychologists, particularly those in administrative roles. A recording will be made available to all who register.
