ENG 680 Writing the Grant Proposal (4398) (3 credits)

The course will explore various rhetorical strategies used to develop grant proposals and related writing such as the letter of inquiry, letter of intent, and mini-proposal. Students will examine and critique samples of actual grant-related submissions and practice developing relevant writing skills. Project budgeting will also be discussed and practiced. For their final project, students will be guided through selecting a non-profit organization; researching the organization's history, mission, needs and other background; and creating a professional-quality grant proposal that the non-profit could choose to submit.
