my suggestion for new grant writers is to find a mentor and just do it. you cannot get an undergraduate degree in grantwriting and the best way to learn is to read books on grants writing, attend workshops and classes, find a mentor to help, get to know as many program officers as you can, and write and write and write.

good luck.
