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.

The Grants Office:

  • Assists administrators, faculty members, and staff in locating, proposing, submitting applications, and administering competitive external funds
  • Secures grant funding to provide faculty and staff professional development
  • Provides additional funding sources that allow administration, faculty and staff to increase the capacity of the College to meet the workforce learning needs of our students
  • Disseminates timely and accurate grants-related information to keep faculty and staff aware of funding opportunities and resources.
  • Assists project directors in maintaining compliance with federal and state regulations and College policies regarding grant funds.
