Student support and academic enrichment grants

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Nevada Department of Education $11.643 million on July 1, 2026, under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants program (CFDA 84.424) to support K–12 educational capacity and student achievement statewide through September 30, 2027.

The grant funds activities designed to provide students access to well-rounded education, improve school conditions for student learning, and enhance the use of technology to support academic achievement and digital literacy. Nevada must reserve at least 95 percent of the allocation for sub-awards to local educational agencies (LEAs) and may use up to 1 percent for administrative costs, with remaining funds supporting state-level monitoring and technical assistance. LEAs receiving $30,000 or more must conduct comprehensive needs assessments and allocate not less than 20 percent of their sub-award to well-rounded educational opportunities, not less than 20 percent to safe and healthy student activities, and a portion to effective technology use. LEAs receiving less than $30,000 may use funds for activities in at least one of these three areas. LEAs may reserve up to 2 percent of their allocations for administrative costs. All funds must supplement, not supplant, non-Federal funds. Work is performed in Carson City, Nevada.
