Grants are the heart of what the SERF provides to the Sudbury community. View our gallery of grants in action and review some testimonials from grant recipients. We provide our grants in four different cycles throughout the school year.

SERF supports student enrichment and curriculum enhancement projects that expand a student’s problem-solving skills, self-esteem or knowledge base. Grants also support professional development opportunities for teachers. SERF funds two categories of grants.

Mini Grants
Mini grants are available for short-term projects, staff development activities, or curriculum enhancement totaling $750 or less. There are 4 mini grant cycles for the 2009-2010 school year. Application deadlines are as follows: October 5, 2009; December 7, 2009; February 1, 2010; and April 5, 2010.

Enrichment Grants
Enrichment grants are intended for larger scale projects exceeding $750 that require significant amounts of staff time to develop and complete. Projects should focus on curriculum improvement, specialty department or system-wide application. Enrichment Grants will continue to be reviewed twice annually. There are 2 enrichment grant cycles for the 2009-2010 school year.  Application deadlines are as follows: October 15, 2009 and February 1, 2010.

Any grant request received by SERF by the deadline will be reviewed at the next Board meeting. Requests received in any month after the deadline will be reviewed at the second Board meeting following the submission.

All grant proposals are blinded, then reviewed by the Grant Review Panel, comprised
of SERF board members, who judge applications on their educational merit and applicability to SERF’s goals. The panel presents recommendations to the full board for discussion and approval. If requested, SERF will provide an advisor to assist applicants in preparing their applications.
