Student support and academic enrichment grants

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Texas Education Agency $131.854658 million on July 1, 2026, under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants program (CFDA 84.424), a formula grant funding student support and well-rounded education opportunities.

The award supports the state educational agency's pass-through funding to local educational agencies, schools, and community stakeholders across Texas. TEA must reserve at least 95 percent of its allocation for subgrants to LEAs and may use no more than 1 percent for administrative costs; remaining funds may support state-level activities including monitoring and technical assistance. LEAs receiving allocations of $30,000 or more must allocate not less than 20 percent to well-rounded educational opportunities, not less than 20 percent to safe and healthy student support, 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. The grant funds improve students' academic achievement by increasing capacity to provide well-rounded education, improve school conditions for learning, and enhance technology use and digital literacy.

Performance period runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Austin, Texas.
