        Up to $19,842,000 will be provided for new grants to State

    Corporation. Contact your State educational agency with any questions.
        Up to $2,488,000 will be provided on a competitive basis to support 
    new grants to grantmaking entities. To be eligible for an award under 
    this program, a grantmaking entity must (1) be a public or private 
    nonprofit organization experienced in service-learning, (2) submit an 
    application to make grants for school-based service-learning programs 
    in two or more states, and (3) have been in existence at least one year 
    prior to submitting its application. Grantmaking entities must make 
    subgrants for the service-learning purposes described in the
