Office of Grants and External Funding

The Office of Grants and External Funding pursues funding that supports the strategic goals of Bossier Parish Community College and its long-range plans to provide innovative and responsive programming and quality education to its students. As the College works to expand student access and success, respond to the needs of a growing regional economy; and maximize the effective use of our resources, the Grants Office works with faculty and staff to develop projects that address the short and long-term needs of the regional workforce, in partnership with representatives from business and industry represented on each Division’s academic advisory board.
