Roughly three-quarters of all AmeriCorps grantfunding goes to the Governor-appointed South Carolina Commission for National & Community Service,which in turn awards grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the remainder of thegrant funding is distributed by the Corporation directly to multi-state and national organizations through acompetitive grants process. Other individuals will serve through AmeriCorps*VISTA, whose membershelp bring individuals and communities out of poverty by serving full-time to fight illiteracy, improvehealth services, create businesses and increase housing opportunities, and AmeriCorps*NCCC (NationalCivilian Community Corps), a 10-month, full time residential program for men and women between theages of 18 and 24. In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members earn an education award of upto $4,725 that can be used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans.
