The grant application can also be related to the current or future job interests of the student. Here are a few examples of previous final exam papers: a grant for a new Adult Day Health program, funding for a feasibility study to develop a PACE program, support for a grandparent mentoring program, and a grant to expand the County Ombudsman program.  Several of these grant proposals have been funded for as much as $100,000.00
