Grant Description: These grants will support multi-state AmeriCorps programs addressing critical community needs through the service of professionals, paraprofessionals, pre-professionals and entry level professionals, such as teachers, nurses, doctors, emergency medical technicians (EMT), and other health care providers, social workers, early childhood development staff, engineers, lawyers, paralegals, police officers and firefighters in communities with inadequate numbers of such professionals. AmeriCorps programs are designed by the applicant organization to address community needs through the assistance of individuals who commit to a term of service of 300 to 1700 hours per year. These individuals are called AmeriCorps members and after successful completion of a term of service they earn an education award that can be used to pay for college or graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans. Successful grant applicants are responsible for recruiting the AmeriCorps members to serve in their program. The Corporation will make awards covering a period not to exceed three years, with continued funding during the course of the three years contingent upon satisfactory performance, the availability of funds through appropriations, and other criteria established in the award agreement.
