States, territories, and Indian tribes must apply to the Corporation for their funding allotment, submitting a 3-year plan for service-learning along with several assurances — such as making sure students of different backgrounds serve together and that the program targets areas of greatest need. Schools, nonprofits, and other local groups that want money from a State, territory, or tribe must separately apply to that State, territory, or tribe.

(a) Applications to Corporation for allotments. (1) To get an allotment under section 12524, a State (through its State educational agency), territory, or Indian tribe must apply to the Corporation, following the Chief Executive Officer's requirements, and get it approved. (2) The application must include: (A) a proposed 3-year plan for promoting service-learning, including how service will be worked into participants' academic programs; (B) the criteria the applicant will use to judge and approve local applications under (b), including a promise to follow section 12526(a); (C) assurances that the applicant will try to let students of different ages, races, sexes, ethnicities, disabilities, and economic backgrounds serve together, will include students in elementary and secondary programs, will let participants help design and run the programs, will focus on areas of greatest need like low-income or rural areas, and will otherwise integrate service into participants' academic programs; and (D) assurances that the applicant will follow the nonduplication and nondisplacement rules in section 12637 and the notice, hearing, and grievance procedures in section 12636. (b) Applications to a State, territory, or Indian tribe for local program funding. Various groups — qualified organizations, tribes, territories, local school agencies, for-profit businesses, private schools, colleges, partnerships, and other entities described in sections 12523(a)(1) through (a)(4) and 12521(a)(5) — that want funding from a State, territory, or tribe for one of these programs must apply to that State's educational agency (or the territory or tribe), in whatever time, manner, and with whatever information that agency, territory, or tribe reasonably requires, and get it approved.
