Grant Application Form
Proposals are solicited for the tenth year of the Torrance Education Foundation (TEF) Grant Program. TEF grants will fund innovative and imaginative proposals for the Torrance Unified School District (TUSD) for the 2008-2009 school year. Proposals must relate to curriculum or some other important facet of TUSD effort (e.g., leadership, citizenship). TEF Grant Application evaluators are particularly interested in funding "pilot" projects that demonstrate the potential to be embraced by, and expanded throughout TUSD. Projects are funded by TEF on a one-time only basis and should not require a recurring expenditure by TEF.
Likelihood of Grant Funding:
More likely - Grant is based on a new classroom, school or District program. Grant is based on a new way of teaching existing curriculum.
Less likely - Grant asks for funds for a previously awarded grant idea. Grant is asking for materials or equipment for an existing program or to teach existing curriculum.
Who is Eligible?
TEF encourages all interested persons to apply. Proposal writers must seek the endorsement of their school prinicpal and the Chief Academic Officer (Dr. Laurie Love). In some cases, it may be advised to seek the endorsement of the School Site Council.
