The program funds service-learning projects designed to engage students in addressing community needs while enhancing academic and civic learning, along with efforts to build capacity and strengthen service infrastructure within higher education institutions. A representative funded project focused on developing and disseminating a civic minor in urban education across five participating campuses to equip future urban teachers to use service learning as a pedagogical tool for K-12 student achievement and civic engagement.
The portfolio consists of 238 federal awards dating back to 1994, with award activity concentrated in 2006 and 2009—27 awards in 2006 and 18 awards in 2009.

The assistance mix is evenly split between Project Grants (126 awards, 53 percent) and Cooperative Agreements (112 awards, 47 percent). Recent awards typically ranged from roughly $200 thousand to $1.9 million, though some multi-institutional capacity-building initiatives reached $1.4 million to $1.7 million.
