Tips:
- Read and follow all guidelines.
Many proposals are disqualified each year because applicants omit a key step in the guidelines or ignore instructions. If you are unsure whether you are qualified to apply, email [email protected] for assistance. - Proofread all work thoroughly.
Proposals that are unclear or contain numerous mistakes distract the reviewer from focusing on the content and reflect poorly on your ability to produce a high-quality product. Check to be sure that sentences are complete, clear, and grammatically correct. - Have someone else read the completed proposal.
An objective reader can often identify areas that need more explanation and may find errors you have overlooked. - Be concise.
Reviewers must read dozens of proposals. Proposals that are clear and concise are more compelling
