A University of Arkansas at Little Rock student wrote a successful $3,000 grant for her mother’s school district in Illinois that will help raise mental health awareness for the community.
Kate Richars, an applied communication major from Newton, Illinois, took a grant writing course with Dr. Barbara L’Eplattenier, a professor in the Department of Rhetoric and Writing, during the fall 2020 semester.
“Dr. Barb did a great job with this course,” Richars said. “I loved it. We learned basically every aspect of a grant and how to write a grant to the best of our ability. We know to pull language from the grant proposal to get the attention of those who will be reading the grant. She set us up to have the best possible way to win the grant.”
