Re: Grant application help needed

Well, knowledge of what the company actually does in the world would help a lot more, but here is a start (Im going to assume for now that its some sort of engineering type company).

The funds will be used to help buy materials and parts for the robot, and allow the team to travel to competitions. (embelish on that with exactly what you plan to do with their money). This competition is used to inspire students to pursue science and technology related fields, using the competition as a vehicle for inspiration.

We intend to compete well and inspire students in science and technology. While these outcomes are not paticularly measurable, we will look at the number of students who pursue careers in science and technology, or advance to science and technology classes within the high school. (You need to add in some quantifiable measures here that allow the company to justify why they spent the money. Ironically enough, see my post within this thread for ideas.

This grant will allow us to enter and travel to a competition which allows our team to pursue the engineering process in pursuit of designing and building a robot to compete in an internation competition. The events and the process are very inspiring to our students.

Now I dont think I have written that very eloquently at all, but at least it gives you an idea of what to start writing about Good luck! Let us know how it turns out!
