Summit Academy Of SC

Summit Academy of SC, doing business as Summit Academy, is a nonprofit educational organization based in Pickens, South Carolina that receives federal grant funding as both a prime grant recipient and a sub-recipient on education-focused awards from the Department of Education and the Appalachian Regional Commission. The vendor operates exclusively in the federal grant space with no contract prime or subcontract activity; all three recent awards are education grants with combined dollars obligated of $1 million.

Summit Academy holds a single prime grant award from the Appalachian Regional Commission dated August 1, 2024 (completion date May 15, 2025) structured as a Project Grant under the Individual Capacity assistance type. The vendor also appears as a sub-recipient on two grants flowing through the South Carolina Department of Education, both designated as "21 Charter School P & I (252)" awards — one dated October 4, 2024 and a second dated October 23, 2025. All activity has occurred within the past eighteen months, with two awards in 2024 and one in 2025.

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education represents two of the three awards (67% of the portfolio by count), while the Appalachian Regional Commission accounts for the remaining prime award. The combined grant footprint is modest — $1 million obligated across the three awards — reflecting early-stage activity in federal grant channels. Summit Academy's federal role is distributed between prime recipient status (one award, 33% of recent activity) and sub-recipient status on state-pass-through education grants (two awards, 67% of recent activity), positioning the vendor as a recipient organization within the K–12 education funding ecosystem rather than as a contractor or service provider to federal agencies.
