Improvement of grants support process in schools

The current way of organizing grant and subsidies allocation and implementation in education institutions is significantly administratively burdensome. Grant applicants are expected to collect and deliver documentation proving the right to subsidies, with some of the evidence coming from the education system itself. There occur costs that are related to time spent on resources in each organization, which has to issue and collect documentation for application, both in the education system and outside of it (public administration or local self- government, parent employers etc.). These costs can either be avoided or minimized with use of modern ICT. This research paper describes current and future way of grants support process in education institutions through a process model that shows how to improve efficiency of grant processes through a single ICT solution. The new way enables organization and implementation of grant support process, from every level of subsidy / grant source, from national level (Ministry of Education) to counties, cities and municipalities and the schools themselves, increasing thereby speed and transparency of the process and reducing costs.
