Elizabeth, what a wonderfully generous offer.  I love your optimism and willingness to write a grant proposal.  If that enthusiasm shines through in your proposal, you cannot help but be successful!

However, I am wondering if it might be possible for me to write up a grant proposal for the student scholarship program. I know there has been a bit of discussion lately regarding the funding for this program, and I think receiving an Imagination Fund grant could help solve some of the concerns that have been raised about funding the scholarship program.
