3 Federal grants are not federal assistance or loans to individuals. Federal grants are not free money. Federal grants are not easy to get. Federal grants are not, generally, for you to do something you want to do. They are, rather, an offer by the federal government for you to do what the federal government wants done.

4 Our objective in applying for grants is to: Achieve the goals of Pellissippi State Community College by leveraging grant money available from the federal government, state government and/or private funding agencies, while at the same time doing the work the granting agency requires.

Does their college have a grant related to your area? Ask them: where their grant is from (federal, state or private) the name of the grant how much the grant is for what activities the grant funds. And share the information with us!!!!

15 Once an agency releases a Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA), we have between 30 and 60 days to write our application and submit it. Time is a critical factor.

16 OK, you ve found a grant you want to apply for or learn more about. What s next?

17 Remember! Grants require space, personnel, or equipment. Some require recipients to continue grant activities after grant funds are used. As such, Dr. Wise and the Vice Presidents need to approve grants to ensure we have the space for faculty and staff. Dr. Wise encourages all of us to help research, develop, write, and administer grants that further the college s mission.

18 The Grants Office is dependent upon faculty members in every department and division who want to leverage grant funds to improve all aspects of our efforts to successfully graduate students who are prepared to enter the workforce or transfer to Office four-year institutions.
