MGA Grant-Writing Class Pays Off for New Jersey High School’s Special Project

A grant-writing class paid off in a big way for Middle Georgia State University grad student Ali Gely and a Holocaust education project at the New Jersey High School where she teaches.

While working full-time at Kittatinny Regional High School in Hampton, N.J., Gely is an online student at Middle Georgia State (MGA) pursuing her master's in Technical & Professional Writing, as well as a graduate certificate in Technical Writing & Digital Communication.

This spring, she took the ENGL 6200 Grant Writing class from Dr. Monica Miller, where she wrote a grant application as her MGA final class project. And, in a result far more satisfying than simply getting a good grade, she secured a $10,000 grant.
