Half Scholarships

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

We know that some smaller organizations doing great work struggle to fit training into their budget. That's why The Grantsmanship Center provides a limited number of half-scholarships for every Grantsmanship Training Program - Online® and Essential Grant Skills - Online training offered to the public.

To qualify, applicants must be working with a nonprofit organization that has:

  • an IRS designation as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and
  • a budget of $1,000,000 or less.

We can secure your seat only after you've been approved and we receive payment, so don't miss out—take action now!

Sorry, half-scholarships are not available to individuals. Organizations which are based outside of the United States are considered on a case-by-case basis. Questions? Contact Gail Brauner at scholarships@tgci.com.

If the application does not display as form fillable, then select "View with a different reader" and then "Open with Adobe Reader" so you can type in your responses. Printing and filling out the form manually is also fine. Because the document does not automatically 'save,' be sure and 'save' your work before sending it to us.

You'll also need to purchase the textbook, Grantsmanship: Program Planning & Proposal Writing, for class.

The e-notebook, which is unique for each class and loaded with resources, is included with your tuition. 

Many grantmakers across the U.S. have underwritten the cost of our training for nonprofits in their service area because they understand how it benefits their community. You may want to check with your local funders to see if they can assist with the tuition. A number of work development programs will also cover costs for our training.
