| Presentation |
The application is not complete. The writing
is poor. The application seems to have been thrown together at the
last minute to make the deadline.
|
The application is generally complete.
The writing may leave you with questions. An item or two may be unclear
or missing.
|
The application is complete.
The writing is clear. The forms are all properly and completely
filled out. No items are unclear.

The application itself
is outstanding. The answers are complete and the forms are filled
out properly. The writing is focused and easily understood. Just
reading the application over makes you want to fully fund it.

Goals and
Activities
|
There seems to be no goal
or guiding principle behind the grant application. The applicants
may even be trying to get the foundation to pay for things that
the staff members cannot get through regular channels. (What are
they thinking? will be the question asked, and there will be no
answer.)
|
The grant seems to serve
no lofty purpose, but the application does demonstrate some need
for funding. There are some loose ends (Why are they asking for
THIS, if the goal is THAT?)
|
The goals are clearly enunciated.
The application fully supports the objectives of the grant. Things
tie in nicely together. Budget reflects some plans to integrate
materials requested with those that already exist.
|
The goal of the grant is
clearly in line with the vision of the education foundation. The
activities planned make sense. Budget reflects plans to integrate
materials requested with those that already exist. With funding,
the ideals in the grant could take the applicant to a new level
of excellence.

| Budget |
The budget is either missing
or questionable |
The budget is not in line
with the rest of the application. The budget is vague and/or inappropriate.
There is no partial funding possible
|
The budget is appropriate
for the application, but may lack sufficient detail. The math is
correct. Partial funding is listed
|
The budget is clearly articulated
and itemized. The application’s goals and the budget are
directly connected. Partial funding is listed and shows thought.
