Student support and academic enrichment grants

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $101,646,412 Formula Grant under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Program (CFDA 84.424) to the New York State Education Department (NYSED) on July 1, 2023. The grant is designed to improve student academic achievement by increasing the capacity of states, local educational agencies, schools, and local communities to: 1) provide all students with access to a well-rounded education, and 2) improve school conditions for student learning.

As the prime grantee, NYSED has sub-awarded portions of the funding to over 30 local school districts, charter schools, and educational agencies across New York to deliver services aligned with the grant program's objectives. The sub-awardees are providing a range of educational services, including expanding pre-K programs, purchasing COVID-19 protective equipment, serving disadvantaged students, improving academic achievement and access to well-rounded education, and safely reopening and operating schools during the pandemic.
