TNLI Rubric

Click here to download a TNLI rating rubric. This matrix indicates the criteria on which grant readers rate each application. The rubric will help guide you as you write up your grant application.

Each grant is given a fair review. All grants are read and rated by a minimum of three CFE volunteers.

While we are not able to offer you feedback on submitted proposals, CFE offers grant writing workshops to prepare teachers for the grant writing process. Click here to see the grant writing workshop schedule
