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.
