The District of Columbia Government, through its DC State Education Office, received a $17,500,000 Project Grant award on October 1, 2024 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. This grant funding supports the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program (CFDA 84.370), which provides low-income parents in Washington, D.C. with expanded educational options for their children.
The grant program delivers a comprehensive approach to school improvement, including academic instruction, professional development, special education support, after-school programs, student nutrition services, and targeted interventions to enhance educational outcomes for low-income families. The DC State Education Office frequently sub-grants portions of this award to local public schools, charter schools, and community organizations to directly implement these educational services and programs across the District of Columbia.
