Robin Jurczyk NIFL-Family list moderator rjurczyk@aol.com ************ Laubach Literacy, the world's oldest and largest nonprofit literacy organization, is currently seeking grant applications for its 1997 National book Scholarship Fund (NBSF). Over the next year, the NBSF will distribute more than $200,000 in books and other educational materials to qualified adult literacy and educational programs nationwide. First priority is given to family literacy programs that work to improve the literacy skill of parents and their children. Grants are also awarded to programs that work with special groups, such as the homeless, refugees, people learning English as a Second Language, and adults with mental disabilities. "The purpose of these grants is to enable local educational groups to expand their work or to begin new programs among under-served populations," explains Kirk Shisler, director of fund development for Laubach Literacy. The NBSF is made possible through the support of the Richard D. Donchian Foundation, the Patricia Gail Brown Foundation, and hundreds of donations from institutions and individuals across the country. For more information, or to apply for NBSF grant, contact Mara Roberts, Project Administrator, The National Book Scholarship Fund, Laubach Literacy, 1320 Jamesville Avenue, Syracuse, NY 13210. Ms. Roberts can also be reached at 315-422-9121 or at mroberts@laubach.org. Grant applications will be accepted until Dec. 15, 1997.
