Summary

- Goal is to provide academic enrichment opportunities to complement regular academic programs.
How Schools Receive Funds
Funds are awarded to SEAs through formula grants based on Title I awards. SEAs must submit applications and involve relevant state agencies (e.g. mental health agency) in their plans. LEAs apply for funds to SEAs through competitive grants. Community-based partners can also apply for funds as long as they coordinate with schools and ensure easy student access to their programs.
How Funds can be Used
To provide academic enrichment opportunities to help students (particularly from low-income families in low-performing schools) meet state education standards.
