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 gearedS to funding curriculums
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
