Student support and academic enrichment grants

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education received a $20,032,738 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to administer the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Program (CFDA 84.424). This funding supports efforts to:

1. Provide all students with access to a well-rounded education; 2) Improve school conditions for student learning; and 3) Improve the use of technology to enhance academic achievement and digital literacy. Through this program, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education distributes sub-grants to local educational agencies, schools, non-profits, and community organizations to directly deliver educational goods and services to students across the state. Sub-recipients have used this funding to provide special education, school nutrition, technology upgrades, educator training, academic enrichment, and COVID-19 pandemic response in K-12 schools and districts.
