Grant Overview

Tennessee limits eligibility for literacy-mentorship grants to organizations that hold current registration with the Tennessee Department of Education’s approved-provider list and maintain at least one full-time staff member certified in the Tennessee Early Literacy Training sequence. Applicants must also demonstrate three years of prior work inside a Tennessee public school or public charter.

Application materials require submission of session logs that align with Tennessee’s third-grade reading retention law, including pre- and post-assessment scores using the state’s universal reading screener. Programs unable to produce these logs within 30 days of a request receive automatic disqualification.

Rural East Tennessee counties present distinct realities: school districts often require mentors to complete the same background check process used for substitute teachers, adding six to eight weeks before any sessions can begin.

Urban districts in Shelby and Davidson counties impose additional insurance thresholds of $2 million per occurrence for any volunteer working inside school buildings after regular hours.

Fit assessment favors Tennessee organizations that already operate after-school sites funded by the state’s Extended Learning Time grant, because those sites already satisfy facility-use agreements and data-privacy requirements with local education agencies.

Reviewers prioritize applications that show mentor recruitment pipelines inside existing Tennessee higher-education institutions rather than national volunteer platforms, because in-state recruitment reduces training turnover documented at 27 percent for out-of-state platforms.
