Grants

If you are interested in submitting a grant on behalf of the College, you are required to obtain approval in advance of submission.  Please contact the Office of Planning & Research for more information on the approval process and use the Grant Request Form to request approval.

No grants may be submitted without prior screening by OPR and approval of the President. Additionally, federal grants require collaboration with and submission by the Office of Planning and Research.

Perkins Grant

The Carl D. Perkins Career Technical Education Grant is managed through the Office of Planning and Research.  BCC seeks opportunities and collaborations with other community colleges related to leverage federal funding to enhance career and technical education. 

Federal Grant Opportunities

All federal discretionary grants can be found on the Grants.gov website. It is also the main electronic submission site for federal grants. Brunswick Community College is a registered contractor of the federal government with official points of contact. Other than the Office of Planning and Research staff, no one is authorized to submit grants on behalf of the College.

Federal grants typically require a significant investment of time on the part of those writing, editing and submitting a grant in development. Faculty and staff interested in applying for a federal grant must coordinate through the Office of Planning and Research to assure there is adequate time for grant development and submission, as well being prepared to take lead writing responsibilities with support from OPR.
