The initiative is the only federal funding source dedicated exclusively to supporting local summer learning (as well as afterschool and before-school programs) for students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools.

Accepted applications had to meet two conditions: Provide students with transportation to and from the school and be able to draw a “throughline” between summer offerings and the skills students need to be successful in the classroom.
