Grant writing expert Jeani Navarro returns to West Hawaiʻi this month when the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo College of Continuing Education and Community Service (CCECS) presents a special one-day class on Applied Grant Writing.

Participants will produce a mini grant proposal utilizing all the skills they have learned from the Basic and Advanced grant writing workshops.
