the competition.



One time awards of approximately $100,000 to $750,000 will be made to an estimated twelve eligible applicants for a project period of up to three years.

While all applicants can build in funds for subgrants as part of their program model, the Corporation expects to fund at least one partnership dedicated primarily to disbursing small subgrants (under $10,000) to seed student-driven projects.

This awardee must promote, review, and award subgrants using social media.

Under this model, it is expected that the grantee will allocate at least 80% of funding for subgrants.





Eligible applicants include (a) consortia of institutions of higher education and (b) higher education partnerships, defined as one or more public or private nonprofit organizations, or public agencies, including States, and one or more institutions of higher education.

Examples of such partnerships include:
a national service-focused organization and college campuses where it has affiliated chapters; a national non-profit partnering with a university to run a national subgranting competition; a regional group of student organizations with a campus advisor serving as a legal applicant.

Applicants should have demonstrable experience in planning and implementing significant service and technology programs.





The purpose of this competition is to facilitate better engagement of college students in service through the use of social media.
