Are you looking for undergraduate scholarships or seeking support for doctoral studies? Do you need funding for continuing education?
With staff from Cleveland Scholarship Programs and the Foundation Center, Cleveland, we will dispel some common myths about foundation support. Discussion will include what you need to know before approaching funders, how to create a personal profile, what makes a successful application, and how to effectively use the database, Foundation Grants to Individuals Online. We will also bring you up-to-date on the most recent changes in federal funds for education.
