| Have your ever written a proposal? Have you ever written one that was turned down? If you have ever written one, or if you need to, you need to attend “How to Write Winning Proposals.” You will get the book “National Indian Grant Directory” for attending the seminar. This book presents an understanding of proposal writing available nowhere else. Dr. Chavers has made his living for 35 years as a fundraiser and proposal writer. He has consulted for half a dozen foundations and a dozen federal agencies. He has trained hundreds of people in proposal writing since 1976. His students have raised tens of millions of dollars. Conducted by the “Dean” of fundraising in Indian Country, Dr. Dean Chavers, this seminar is guaranteed to bring you results OR YOUR MONEY BACK! Bring along a proposal to critique. |
The techniques used in this book have gotten 50% of federal proposals funded, and 15% of foundation and corporation proposals funded. That is much better than the going success rate, which is 25% of federal proposals funded and 5% of foundation and corporation proposals funded. As a bonus offer, Dr. Chavers will review and help you re-write your next proposal AT NO CHARGE! This alone makes attendance at the seminar worthwhile. “Dr. Chavers helped us land a grant for one million dollars five years ago!” Lynn Lopez, AATCHB “We had seven out of 11 proposals funded and brought in over a million dollars after Dr. Chavers showed us how to do it.” Bob Roundtree, Kayenta |

To supplement the focus on scholarship aid, CTD has programs to help Indian students prepare more thoroughly for college-level studies and to improve the educational resources and programs that prepare these students for college. School Administrators and Educators should refer to the Grants and Conferences pages to become familiar with the ten-year history of sponsorship of programs and projects to improve the performance of Indian students.
DON’T WAIT TOO LATE!!!
Some of the most frustrating calls we receive happen over the summer.
Students and parents call us in July wanting scholarships for the coming
Fall semester. Unknowingly, they have missed almost all the deadlines
for scholarships. (Our Fall deadline is April 15.) We have to tell them
they are too late. The scholarship “season” is January through April.
About 90% of scholarships have deadlines in this four month period. A few have deadlines earlier (September through December), and a few have deadlines in May and June. Very few have deadlines in July or August. So take caution. Start your scholarship search early in your senior year. You should have it done by September and you may have to start applying to some scholarships as early as September. If you have any doubts, let us help you with this process, for free. Call us at (505) 262-2351, or write us at 8200 Mountain Road, N. E., Suite 203, Albuquerque NM 87110.
