For All Grants:
- Talk to your principal about what you're hoping to do, where the money/supplies are coming from, and what kinds of purchases you're going to be making.
- Work with your principal's administrative assistant to fill out the grants pre-application form in Skyward. This will automatically send your pre-application to your principal and Administrator of Schools (AoS). They will decide whether to approve of deny the process.
- Wait for an email from the grants manager letting you know that you're approved. They will be able to help you with the rest of the process if you need help. This includes help in writing, editing, or submitting your grant.
- As you write your grant application, work with the accounting department to make sure you've done your budget correctly.
- If you get the grant, email the grants manager to let them know. They will send your information on to accounting and purchasing and talk to you about what is and is not allowable. They will put you in contact with someone who will walk you through the purchasing process for items over $5,000. They will also get you in contact with someone from information systems to make sure that any software or hardware you want to purchase is supported.
