Grant Writing for Teachers – Why You Should Apply
 

Why would you want to be a grant writer for a school? It's a lot of work to pull together a grant application. And it's even more work if you're fortunate enough to receive the grant. You have to keep records, prove that you’ve spent the money properly, and record the results of your program, even if those results are not positive. So why even put yourself through the grant-writing process?
