Selection of Grant Recipients:
The Manor Education Foundation Program Committee will review applications and recommend grant proposals for funding. Selection will be based on the quality of the program and the listed selection criteria as well as amounts requested relative to funds available.
Selection Process:
Instructional approaches or projects that benefit groups of students are eligible for support. Grants may fund instructional and classroom materials, or an activity or material which supports higher levels of student academic achievement. Grants will not be awarded for salaries, staff travel or food. Costs and items that may be available through district, state or federal funding will not be considered.
Manor ISD has identified three priority goals for programs:
- Create instructional improvement systems for the district in all areas to support academic achievement for all students

- Implement effective communication strategies throughout the District
MEF seeks projects that are creative, utilize critical thinking, and/or are a new way of looking at an old problem. Projects should have a clearly stated goal, related activities to support goal achievement, and a budget outlining how requested materials align with project outcomes.
