Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) Competitive Grant Program
Note: The due date for the request for applications has passed. This page is for reference and administration of funding.
The purpose of the SSAE Competitive Grant Program is to encourage and support eligible districts and public charter schools to increase the capacity of LEAs to provide all students with access to well-rounded educational opportunities; support safe and healthy students; and/or support the effective use of technology. The process will prioritize applications that enhance visual and performing arts education or utilize funds as part of a comprehensive strategy to expand access to physical and mental health care.
