Essentials for Budgeting

This course provides an overview of TRIO budgets and ways to utilize your budget plan to accomplish project objectives effectively. After a short review of TRIO program-specific regulations and OMB Circulars governing costs, assignments, and activities will focus on financial resources in a flexible, productive budget. Assignments include revising the 22-23 budget you originally sent to ED at the beginning of the fiscal year. Participants can access discussion posts with other course participants to exchange ideas and networking opportunities. COE will also host an optional 30-minute meeting with you to review your budget. This ten-day online course has no live meetings to attend, but participants must turn in assignments and discussions on specific dates. Participants that pass this course will receive a certificate indicating their success.
