Tips for completing the WEF Red Apple Grant Application:
Give focused concise answers. Make sure you make your point clearly without educational jargon.
Answer the question that is asked. This may seem obvious, but the grant application is rated on how clearly you answer the specific question asked. There have been some great ideas that were never funded because the applicant didn't answer the specific question being asked.
DO NOT provide any identifying information (for example, school name, your name, names of other staff members) on any page of the application except for on the Cover Sheet.
Do not hesitate to contact Barb Smolen, WEF Executive Director, if you have any questions about the grant application or the grant process.
Contact Barb (Call 574-371-5098 X2410 or e-mail: Bsmolen@warsawschools.org) if you would like to know if your idea is one the Foundation would consider.
Contact Barb if you have questions when completing your application and do not understand any specific question and what is being asked.
Barb is willing to read over your application and give you some pointers. She does not vote in the grant process, but she is at the ranking meeting where the grants are rated. Sometimes Barb can add information that the committee would find helpful in their decision making.
