What We Do

NSEF Miller Grants

Noblesville Schools Education Foundation is proud to invest in academic excellence in Noblesville Schools. The NSEF Miller Grants are a great resource for educators with project ideas that enhance student achievement and motivation to learn. All NSEF grants must align with Noblesville Schools learning philosophy of engaging, inspiring and empowering students. In general, high value criteria include innovation, creativity, educational value, student impact and the ability to leverage community support or funding.

NSEF Miller Grant Committee reviews each grant application it receives. The committee may request additional information from the applicant, school administrators or curriculum coordinators. If the committee needs significantly more information about a project, applicant(s) could be asked to come in for a presentation and question session. Applications chosen for funding by the committee are then recommended to the Foundation’s board of directors for approval.

The grant committee uses a combination of objective and subjective criteria when evaluating grant applications. Applications that clearly meet more criteria will generally be viewed more favorably during evaluation. In some instances NSEF is not able to fund all requests due to budgetary constraints or possible other funding found within the school budgets. This does not mean that a rejected application is inappropriate or unsatisfactory.
