What to Include in Your DS Grant Application
When reviewing applications, we find the submissions that stand out carry similar characteristics. Though the projects are all very different, how they are delivered and what the writer chooses to include are not. Before submitting your application for our $1,000 grant, we recommend reviewing the following suggestions.
Be succinct. Remember to be clear and concise in all areas of your application. This will help show the committee that your project is reasonable and thought through.
Detail Finances. Make sure to outline how this money will be used in a very detailed way. For example, include how this money will be applied to the cost of a literary agent, date and name of a specific conference you would like to attend, travel expenses if necessary, cost for filming, etc. The money is not intended to be used to help pay bills and living expenses while you complete the project.
Set a Timeline. We want to help as much as we can with all projects, but are more inclined to lend aid to those that are already in progress, or have a very strict deadline for completion.
Remember, applications are accepted the 1st through the 7th of each month. Download your application in from the "Help" section of the Resource Center. Submit your application to grantprogram@demandmedia.com
Good Luck!

The only thing that I can think of at this point is applying for the grant to have my m.s. proofed by a professional (not edited); I am not sure that grant money can be applied for these services.
