Are there additional FWS funds available for campuses participating in America Reads and America Counts?
Although FWS funds are not allocated on the basis of a campus’ participation in America Reads and America Counts programs, beginning in the 2000-2001 academic year, an institution is eligible to receive additional funding late in the academic year if it uses at least 5% of its FWS monies for America Reads. These additional funds become available if some campuses do not spend all of their allotted funds. When this money is returned to the Department, it is reallocated to institutions that meet the 5% requirement and submit an application. All reallocated funds must be used for community service activities, such as America Reads or America Counts tutoring.
