The college or university is responsible for selecting the elementary schools where the undergraduates will tutor. To be eligible to receive tutors, an elementary school:

1. Must have a demonstrated need for tutors;
   
   
2. Must be a non-profit institution;
   
   
3. May be either public or parochial; and
   
   
4. For logistical reasons, the elementary schools should be located near the college or university.
   

The undergraduates are not paid to do the tutoring, and there is no cost whatsoever to the elementary schools or to the children who are tutored by the undergraduates.
