Successful applicants requesting a grant to service this age category must have demonstrated results, supported by rigorous measurement and analysis.
- Turrell Fund also places a priority on organizations which create system changes through policy and advocacy initiatives.
- Grants are awarded to agencies that exhibit:
- Evidence of exceptional quality

- A voice in the chorus of those speaking to educational policy change
- Initiatives directed at systems and policy change.
