About this award

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Texas Education Agency $10,999,818.50 on August 1, 2026, under the Education Innovation and Research program (CFDA 84.411) to implement high-impact cross-age tutoring to improve literacy achievement in rural Texas elementary schools.

The project runs through July 31, 2031, with performance based in Austin, Texas. Cross-age tutoring pairs older students with younger students to deliver literacy instruction in rural elementary settings across the state. The Education Innovation and Research program funds evidence-based, field-initiated innovations designed to improve student achievement for high-need students through a tiered-evidence framework; this award supports implementation and evaluation of the tutoring intervention. Grantees must conduct rigorous, independent evaluations of project effectiveness and provide matching funds equal to 10 percent of the award from federal, state, local, or private sources, though the Secretary may waive this requirement. At least 25 percent of program appropriations must serve rural areas, contingent on sufficient applications; this award directly serves that rural education mandate.
