Working on the Application

  2. You will not be able to save your information unless you include this information.​​ 
  3. If you want to begin working on the application and return to it at a later time, follow the steps below.  These are the same steps you will take to submit your final application.  You can repeat the following steps as often as you need prior to the final submission date of April 1.
  • At the bottom of the last page of the application, there is a PREVIEW button.

  • That screen will contain two links:  one is to EDIT your form, and one is to get a PDF of your form.

​Budget Form
  1. ​Each application must include a budget form. 
  2. The link to the form is: fef_budget_form_2019-20.docx

Submitting your Final Application
  1. Once satisfied with your final application, download the PDF from the confirmation screen to your computer.  The PDF is a good way to share your application with your co-applicants and with those from whom you are seeking support. We suggest you rename your PDF to reflect that name of your project.
  2. ​All applications need the support of your principal and/or department chair.  
  3. We recommend that you email the PDF of your final application with the budget to them, and to Cindi Tougas, Director of Technology and Library/Media,ctougas@falmouth.k12.ma.us when your application includes a request for technology.
