Since any number of academic disciplines take their expression in the real world, a college or university may properly operate several of these programs at the same time. One college, for example, could operate three programs simultaneously, one in each of three different academic departments (e.g., Sociology, Economics, and Elementary Education).

In that event, the National Education Project would provide the college with three grants in the amount of $50,000 per grant; that is, one $50,000 grant for each of the three academic departments participating.

For each $50,000 grant received, the college will agree to field a total of 145 undergraduates during the five-year grant period. A college that receives three $50,000 grants, for example, will field a total of 435 undergraduates, who, in turn, will produce 21,750 hours of tutoring in a five-year period (that is, three programs at one college x 145 undergraduates per program x 50 hours of tutoring produced by each undergraduate.)
