Student application Community member/Colgate staff application Student Experiences “I learned a lot about the entire grant process. I now have a development internship this summer, so I will hopefully use what I Iearned in this class immediately.” “I learned how a nonprofit operates in an incredibly useful sense, and also the art and science of formulating an idea, having a plan, and articulating that idea with all the intricacies of a grant proposal.” “Previously, I knew very little about grants. Now with this new knowledge, I am actually writing grants for my local community center and library.” Campus Life Housing Options Campus Dining The Arts on Campus Clubs and Organizations Sports and Recreation Volunteerism Max A.
