The Minnesota Department of Education received a $13 million Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers federal grant program (CFDA #84.287). The grant period runs from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

The Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers program aims to establish or expand community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities for students, especially those attending high-poverty and low-performing schools. Under this award, the Minnesota Department of Education will support afterschool programs that provide such academic enrichment activities to students in Minnesota. The $13 million in funding will support these services through September 2022.
