FY99 grant recipients that have submitted all required data and reports are eligible for continuation grants at level funding subject to meeting program and matching requirements.
Funding is subject to appropriation and satisfactory performance.
Grant funds cannot be used to supplant funds currently committed to the existing child education component of the program. Applicants need to submit Grant Application Parts I, II, and IIB, Schedule B, a match narrative, and the ACLS FY2000 Statement of Assurances for the Family Literacy Challenge Grant Program. Matching resources must add value to the Family Literacy Challenge Grant Program. Matching requirements cannot be fulfilled using portions of the existing child education component.
