Grant Application Review: Each grant application will be reviewed by the OSF Grant committee which is comprised of community members and OSF Board members. No quotas will be set by school, grade or subject matter and each application will be evaluated individually and on its own merits, subject to meeting the grant application criteria. Final decision on grant funding will be made by the OSF Grant Committee. The selection process will commence on the Grant Committee meeting date, following the application deadline. Applicants will be notified of the approved Classroom Grants after the OSF Board meeting accepts the committee's recommendations. Objectives: To support creative program ideas that will enhance student learning, encourage creativity in the classroom, reward imaginative teaching and enrich educational experience in Oregon City Schools.
