Grant Proposal — Draft

Many important projects—whether scientific, artistic, or charitable—move forward in today’s society thanks to grant funding. This sequence of assignments aims to give you experience that you can put to good use in later life.

I invite you to think big in envisioning a project: a pop-up exhibit, a series of performances, a district-wide educational program, etc. Your proposal can be artistic, scientific, historical, or some combination of all three—but it must have the cosmos at its center. For details, see the call for proposals linked at right.

Your proposal should offer a concise yet inspiring description of your project. And it should reference existing works of art and/or scientific studies in fleshing out your project’s intellectual and artistic content.

This will be a draft; the final version will be due in a few weeks. You have 900 words to spend; try to hit that mark. Your proposal should be as concrete as possible: specific information as to siting, timing, costs and contributors.

Submit to Prof Henebry via email by midnight, Saturday. If you need a few extra days, let me know via email. You can have an extension up to Monday evening simply by writing to me.
