Admission Requirements
This program does not require any previous experience in grant writing. Anyone is encouraged to enroll. Familiarity with nonprofit funding or operations is helpful.
Because this is a hands-on program, you’ll need to find a nonprofit or educational or government organization to work with to complete assignments. Consider organizations where you have a connection — perhaps as a volunteer, board member or employee — or an organization in the community that you’d like to support. Contact the organization before the course begins so you can be ready to start working with them after the first class. If you’re having difficulty finding an organization, reach out to Enrollment Services before the course starts.
Time Commitment
Including time in class, you should expect to spend about five to seven hours each week on coursework.
English Proficiency
If English is not your native language, you should have advanced English skills to enroll. To see if you qualify, make sure you are at the C1 level on the CEFR self-assessment grid. To learn more, see English Language Proficiency Requirements – Noncredit Programs.
International Students
Because this offering is 100% online, no visa is required and international students are welcome to apply. For more information, see Admission Requirements for International Students.
Technology Requirements
You must have access to a computer, and we recommend a high-speed internet connection.
