  Five $600,000 Educational Grant Opportunities to Benefit Hispanic, Other Immigrant Families for Literacy Efforts
   
  Applications due Feb. 15
   
  The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) is seeking five school districts to receive an award of $600,000 each in direct funding and support services to implement the highly successful Toyota Family Literacy Program.
   
  Targeting communities with high or fast-growing Hispanic and other immigrant populations, the program uses a quality family literacy approach to increase basic language and literacy skills. It also provides parents with the specific skills they need to help their children succeed.
   
  Five cities will be selected to receive direct funding, training, technical assistance, materials and other support from NCFL. The opportunity builds on Toyota’s commitment to this program, which currently serves 60 elementary schools in 20 cities nationwide.
   
  Awards will be made based on a competitive application process. Interested school districts in conjunction with their local city officials will be eligible.  Please download, complete and return a Capability Survey by 5 p.m. (Eastern Time), February 15, 2008. 
   
  Visit www.famlit.org/TFLP-Capability-Survey to view the Capability Survey and find out more information about this exciting opportunity, including coverage of the cities that already benefit from the Toyota Family Literacy Program.
