The mission of the Office of Grant Services is to provide specialized technical assistance and resources to help South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) and school districts address their grant-related needs as we support the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate.
The Grants Program assists SCDE personnel with preparing and submitting grant applications; providing grant writing resources, grant announcements, and information on funding agencies; and assisting with the Request for Proposals for competition formulation.
The Grants Program also assists public school (K-12) teachers and administrators to
- Stay informed about grant opportunities
- Locate useful statistics and research, as needed
- Review and understand grant guidelines and announcements
- Establish a work plan and project checklist
- Polish the proposal narrative (available through e-mail)
- Review the project budget.
The Grants Program conducts brief, customized workshops that address proposal writing, post-award procedures, close-out requirements, and monitoring activities.
