Special Programs
Mission
The mission of the Department of Special Programs is to research, procure, monitor, and manage supplemental funds and programs that support and sustain school communities, providing all students with a high-quality education that prepares them to graduate as responsible, active citizens ready for success in college and careers and prepared to compete in a global economy.
What We Do
Our office supports all departments and schools in securing supplemental resources and navigating procedural requirements, while ensuring all special aid and grants received are spent in compliance with regulations. Special Programs researches and identifies potential sources of funding, develops and submits grant proposals, and oversees how these grants are distributed to programs. The department monitors the grant's budget, activities, and expenditures, and oversees the implementation of the programs as a whole.
