Undergraduate Certificate in Proposal and Grant Writing

University of Colorado - Denver

The Proposal and Grant Writing certificate program is an opportunity for students to pursue formal study of grant development and proposal writing and to gain professional experience writing proposals and managing grants (through an internship pipeline and experiential/client-partnered courses). Students learn about and gain experience in all stages of the grant development process, including researching funding opportunities, building relationships with funders, managing complex grant proposals and teams, writing and designing proposals, and managing grant funds, work plans, outcomes assessments, and relationships.Grant writing professionals are in demand and possess a specific set of skills–these factors make proposal and grant writing particularly amenable to certificate programming. Students who earn this certificate will gain a specific set of discrete and hands-on skills that translate into a range of workplace roles and skills.
