Approximately $2.3 million is available from the College Student Social Media Initiative (Learn and Serve America) to facilitate better engagement of college students in service through the use of social media such as Facebook, MySpace, Ning, podcasts, blogs, and other social media tools. Successful applicants must demonstrate how their program can use these tools to engage increased numbers of college students, especially in partnership with other nonprofit or for-profit entities. An estimated 12 grants will be made for a project period of up to three years. Deadline is 5pm EST, May 7, 2008. For more information, visit the Learn and Serve America initiative page.
