There are three parts to this assignment.

Part 1: Complete the attached Grant Proposal Budget   Detail Planner Worksheet.

Part 2: Complete a Budget Narrative. See attachment   for detailedinstructions. The budget narrative is written last.   It is a detailed written explanation for all the proposed expenses   detailed on the Budget Detail Planner Worksheet. Each category from   the Budget Detail Planner Worksheet must be justified by clearly   explaining the relationship between the proposed activities and the   expenditures. For example, if you list that you need two counselors,   describe why you need two counselors and justify the salary (research   counselor salaries in your area).

Part 3: Revise and edit your draft Executive Summary   submitted in Topic 7 using feedback provided by your instructor.   Submit the final revised Executive Summary.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment,   solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources   should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be   found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
