Part I
Description: The 2000 Application Guidelines for Learn and Serve
America Higher Education provide the background, requirements and
instructions that potential applicants need to apply to the Corporation
for grants to operate Learn and Serve America service-learning programs
for college-age youth. The Corporation seeks public comment on the
forms, the instructions for the forms, and the instructions for the
narrative portion of these application guidelines. The application
forms and instructions are being revised to reflect the evaluation
criteria approved by the Corporation board last year. In some instances
this means that questions appear under different categories than
previously. In an effort to streamline and consolidate this application
package, there is one title page and one budget form that all Higher
Education applicants can use. Form instructions are clearer and are
written in plain language. Questions that need response in the
narrative section of the application are streamlined.
