(Supplying Essential Education Dollars)
2014 Application and Guidelines
Due Date:
Monday, April 14, 2014
Award Announcement: Monday, May 12, 2014
Information and Guidelines
- One of the goals of the Greeneville City Schools Education Foundation is to provide funding for projects that reach beyond the scope of the school system’s regular operating funds. Since its beginning in November 2002, this opportunity has become an annual event showcasing American Education Week.
- It is the intent of the Education Foundation that this process be as simple as possible for applicants, and that the evaluation process be both objective and impartial. The Education Foundation has budgeted $5000 to award to applicants.
- This grant application requires your principal/supervisor’s signature as an indication of his/her support of your request.
- Partial funding: Applications chosen for award may be funded at a percentage of the request. In your grant description, please address the issue of partial funding. For example: (amounts are nonspecific) “I am requesting $5000, but if you can only give me $3000 I’ll do this, $2000 I’ll do this, and $1000 I’ll do this.” PLEASE NOTE – If you do not include a plan for partial funding, the grant committee will assume that you will accept only full funding.
- Awardees will receive funds as a one-check disbursement from the Finance Office to your school at your request.
- By applying, you are agreeing to spend the money as your application describes, and to provide financial and anecdotal reports to the Education Foundation.
