Selection Process

​Applications that meet the stated criteria and are received on time are forwarded to the SEF’s VP of Programs. Each committee member reads the grants and scores them using the Grants Evaluation Score sheet. The committee meets to review the cumulative score and makes funding recommendations to the Foundation’s Board of Directors for final approval.
 
The Grant Review Committee is comprised of Shallowater Education Foundation board members, district staff, and community representatives.
 
All applications will be subject to the number-coded, blind review relative to applications and specific campuses. Accordingly, specific reference to the applicant(s) and campus should be limited to the first two boxes on the application and not listed throughout the application. 
 
Please do not refer to your personal name throughout the application.  Instead, there is a box for your name at the beginning of the application only.
