To assist you in understanding and writing grants for Perkins Act funding,
Tech Ed Concepts has prepared an easy-to-understand guide.

You will find that the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998

addresses the need for Technical Education/Pre-Engineering as a critical program.

This allows the Technical Education products offered by Tech Ed Concepts (TEC) to be

purchased with Perkins funds. This guide will show you how to:

* Understand the Carl Perkins Fund

* The Outline to a Strong Proposal

* Tips for Building a Strong Proposal

Whether you are an Administrator, Supervisor or Teacher, this resource will help you

understand the Perkins Act, and, help you put-together a successful proposal in asking

for grant-monies to purchase TEC's exceptional line of 3D-Engineering products.

It is important to note that each state allocates Perkins funds differently. Before you

spend valuable time writing a proposal, determine whether funds are available for the

program you envision. You can do this by contacting your state (or district) Perkins

Coordinator.

In addition , this grant writing process will be appropriate for obtaining funding from a

variety of other sources, such as foundations, community organizations, PTA's, and

local businesses. So, you can leverage these other funding opportunities to fund your

critical purchase of TEC 3D-Engineering Academic products.

There are many opportunities for funding from community businesses and service

organizations. As education becomes more responsive to the needs of the workplace,

more groups will respond by funding effective programs. If you can't obtain Perkins

funding, review your proposal, change it slightly, and submit it to community sources:

Rotary, parent STEM groups, or other organizations. If they see that a project can

produce results and help Students focus on their engineering future and the future

prosperity of the United States, persuading them to support you won't be difficult.

Unfortunately, many good projects go unfunded because people fear the funding

process is far too difficult. But in most school districts, developing funding proposals is

not overwhelming – if you have a strategy and a fundable program. This guide will help

you with the strategy and tactics needed.
