The "Grants
for Higher Education" Index covers extensive government,
private foundation, and corporate grants, which can
be key in putting your institution at the forefront
of new programs. Looking for leadership where leadership
is created, grants for higher education provide an
incentive to colleges and universities to be in step
with the ever-changing fields of science and technology.
Advance your college or university's reputation for
innovation by staying on top of the most current funding
opportunities for cyber service education, undergraduate
scholarships for advanced technological education,
as well as science laboratory, technology center and
technology studies programs. The "Grants
for Higher Education" Index represents funding
for advanced learning and curriculum programs. Features
of the Index include grants geared to funding curriculum
in computer security, technology education, and teacher
preparation for the use of technology in the classroom.
Funding is also available for information or medical
information system scholarships, and program development.
The Index is ideal for college development/grants
officers, as well as for faculty/staff in mathematics,
computer or information sciences, management information
systems, technology integration, and engineering disciplines.
