Site Fee Information

For California school partners:

This site application is not a binding contract, but rather an interest form. While federal AmeriCorps funding will cover much of the costs associated with each tutor, Local Education Agencies (LEA), are asked to pay a fee to serve as a match to the federal dollars. Scholarships may be available for LEAs who cannot afford the tutor fee(s). Upon receipt of your tutor request, our team will work with your district leadership to finalize 2025-26 tutor awards and fees. You will be notified via email of your school site's final tutor award.

Please note: the question below is for informational purposes only and will not be used in the decision-making process to award sites.

There is a site fee of up to $10,000 per member for Early Learning Corps in New York. While federal AmeriCorps funding covers 2/3 of the costs associated with each member, Early Learning Corps must raise additional funds to cover the remaining 1/3. This fee is necessary to cover a portion of those remaining costs.

If a site fee is a barrier to participation in the program, please contact Katrina Gobins at katrina.gobins@ampact.us to inquire about potential options for assistance.
