National Book Scholarship Fund Offers Literacy Materials
Deadline: December 2, 2004

ProLiteracy Worldwide is accepting applications for its National Book Scholarship Fund (NBSF) (<a href="http://nbsf.org/">http://nbsf.org/</a>), an annual program that supplies books and materials to local literacy programs. New Readers Press, the publishing division of ProLiteracy Worldwide, provides the books and materials that are available from the NBSF.

The NBSF makes grants to literacy or educational programs. First priority will be given to programs that focus on family literacy. English as a second language projects, adult basic educational programs, and projects that involve women-focused literacy or ESL programming will also be considered for support.

NBSF grants have ranged from $500 to $7,000, although greater or lesser amounts of funding are considered. Programs awarded a grant must provide a cash contribution to ProLiteracy Worldwide equal to 20 percent of the grant award. These funds are used to defray the costs of NBSF program administration. Organizations that have been affiliates of ProLiteracy for one year or more provide a cash contribution equal to 10 percent of the grant award.

Proposals will be considered immediately upon receipt. Awards will be made until funds are exhausted.

See the NBSF Web site for complete program information and application form.
