Grant Administration

The Office of Grants Administration provides leadership to Lone Star College System in the administration and management of federal, state, and local grant funds. We serve as the central point of contact between the funding agency and Lone Star College System grant managers regarding reports, contracts, compliance with grant regulations, and District policy and procedures. We also provide training in budgeting, compliance, and management.
