Title: Funding Opportunity: Family Literacy
Body: The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) and Fairfield Language Technologies invite you to apply for a special grant to support your family literacy program's efforts to serve low-income, at-risk Hispanic families. NCFL and Fairfield Language Technologies will grant 75 licenses providing FREE access via the internet to Levels I & II of the Rosetta Stone English language learning software. The 75 qualified family literacy and family education programs will receive access for 15 users each, at no cost, for a period of 1 year (12 months). The National Center for Family Literacy was founded by current president Sharon Darling in 1989. NCFL began with a simple but ambitious mission: To help parents and children achieve their greatest potential together through quality literacy programs. Fairfield Language Technologies was founded in 1991 with two core beliefs. The natural way we learn native languages as children remains, for everyone, the most successful method for learning new languages. And interactive technology can replicate and activate that method powerfully for learners of any age. The software can be used for adding a new Adult Education resource to an already existing Adult Education component or parent and child together time (PACT Time) component to an existing family literacy or family education program. A 15 user, one-year Online Language Learning Center for US English retails for $4,485.00. The application period ends May 14, 2004. Please log on to NCFL's web site www.famlit.org and read under announcements for more details on eligibly and how programs can apply.
