Occasionally, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) makes available special funding opportunities for AmeriCorps programs that meet certain criteria. In March 2013, a special competition will be held to select School Turnaround AmeriCorps programs.
The School Turnaround AmeriCorps initiative is a collaborative effort by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to increase educational achievement, high school graduation rates, and college readiness for students in our nation’s lowest-performing elementary, middle, and high schools.
Interested applicants proposing a program that operates solely within the State of Texas must apply using the following School Turnaround AmeriCorps deadlines and application materials. All entities that plan to apply in Texas must submit a required Letter of Intent via email to grants@onestarfoundation.org by 5:00 PM CDT on April 1st before the final grant deadline of April 10th.
OneStar will host informational webinars covering basic information related to this specific School Turnaround funding opportunity. Time will be allotted at the end of each session for participant questions. You must pre-register to attend the webinar of your choice by clicking on the date/time below. You are welcome to attend one or both sessions. Attendance is encouraged but is not required to submit an application.
