Introduction to Grants
Welcome
to the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Grants Web site. Montgomery County Public Schools actively
garners grant funding to support projects that address critical unmet needs to
supplement existing programs. Funding from grants allows MCPS to explore
new ideas and implement model programs. The infusion of supplementary
funds adds interesting and unique aspects to a program or project. In
addition, a grant may serve as the catalyst to build an ongoing partnership
between schools and communities that will improve the quality of education and
help students achieve success.
This Web
page is maintained by the MCPS grants specialist who provides information,
training, and technical assistance on seeking grants. The grants
specialist advises MCPS grant seekers about possible grant opportunities, links
them with potential funding partners, reviews draft proposals, and guides MCPS
grant seekers through the MCPS approval process. The grants specialist is
also responsible for developing strong effective partnerships that enhance
programs and services in support student achievement. The grants
specialist also provides training for MCPS personnel on seeking and securing
grants, proposal writing, and the grant application process. Most
importantly, the grants specialist provides technical assistance to MCPS grant
seekers. The grants specialist facilitates the development of grant proposals
by assisting with program, budget, and evaluation planning. She also reviews
proposals for quality and compliance with grantor intentions and preferences.
