The Learn and Serve America 2010 Higher Education grants will support institutions of higher education that use innovative service-learning programming to meet the needs of local communities. The Corporation anticipates that grants will be awarded to an estimated seven to nine individual institutions ranging from approximately $85,000 to $200,000 annually for a project period of up to three years, and an estimated seven to eleven consortia ranging from approximately $200,000 to $500,000 for a project period of up to three years.

For the 2010 competition, Learn and Serve America will fund programs that focus on one of the following two priorities:

1. Embedding Service-Learning in Pre-Service and In-Service Teacher Training – programs will include service-learning as a key component of pre-service teacher curricula and/or professional development provided to in-service teachers.

2. Service-Learning in STEM-focused disciplines – programs will integrate high-quality service-learning into the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

Applications are due on March 9, 2010, 5:00 Eastern Time. Successful applicants will be notified by mid-July 2010.
