Grant Readiness Evaluation
Please rate each item below. When you have finished answering all of the questions, please total your score. Your final score in each category will let you know if you are ready you are to go for grants!
If you scored the highest in the Strong category – go for grants! If you find you scored the highest in the Needs Improvement or Incomplete categories – you need to do some more work before you are ready. When you have completed the categories where you had a deficiency, take the Grant Readiness Evaluation again to see if you are ready to go for grants.
