Good Neighbor Student Achievement Grants


State Farm is sponsoring these YSA (Youth Service America) grants for up to $1,500 for programs enhancing student achievement through service-learning in K-12 public schools.

Each grant engages participating teachers and students in a service and learning program that promotes academic achievement, 21st Century student outcomes, and stronger communities. The State Farm Good Neighbor Student Achievement Grant requires a 12-to-14 week Semester of Service™ starting on MLK Day of Service (January 21, 2013) and ending on Global Youth Service Day, (April 26-28, 2013).

For more details read through the pdf Program Overview and/or start the online application.

Applications must be submitted by July 31, 2012.

YSA will offer a series of regional trainings in selected geographic locations to be determined by the locations of successful applicants.  Each regional training will introduce grantees to the elements and expectations of the program, presenting the suite of tools, resources, and support that YSA will provide. 

Attendance at one regional training is a required element of participation in the State Farm Good Neighbor Student Achievement Grant program. This grant, valued at $1,500, includes the costs of your attendance at the regional training as well as up to $1,000 in grant funding for your program.
