Grant Applications

The Owasso Education Foundation (OEF) is excited to announce the 2021 grant application form will be open for admission starting Wednesday, August 11th.

The mission of OEF is to support and encourage excellence in Owasso Public Schools by providing money to teachers for otherwise unfunded projects. Members of the Board of Trustees are volunteers in the community with a passion for Owasso education. They are not employees of Owasso Public Schools and are not compensated for their time in any way.

Grants submitted for consideration are reviewed anonymously by the Grant Allocation Committee. The committee rates each grant based on information submitted and responses provided in the grant application. The Grant Allocation Committee is made up of members of the OEF Board of Trustees. The OEF board determines how much total funding can be allocated in any given year for the total number of teacher grants that are selected to be funded.
