Selection Criteria

Click here to download a Small Grant rating rubric. This matrix indicates the criteria on which grant readers rate each Small Grant application. You can use the rubric to help guide you as you write up your grant application.

Each grant is given a fair review. All grants are read and rated by a minimum of three CFE volunteers, and a member of the subject area committee in which the grant is classified.
 
While we are not able to offer you feedback on submitted proposals, CFE offers grant-writing workshops to prepare teachers for the grant writing process. Click here to find out more about our grant-writing support services.
