Supplemental Educational Services (Government Grant)

Supplemental Educational Services are additional academic instruction designed to increase the academic achievement of
students in low-performing schools. Services must be provided outside of the regular school day and may include
academic assistance such as tutoring, remediation and other educational interventions. These services must be highquality
researched-based strategies specifically designed to increase student achievement and are consistent with the
content and instruction of the local education agency and aligned with the State’s academic content standards. Each State
education agency is required to identify organizations that qualify to provide these services and maintain a list that allows
parents to have as many choices as possible.
Providers of Supplemental Educational Services may include nonprofit entities, for-profit entities, local education agencies,
public schools, public charter schools, private schools, public or private institutions of higher education, and faith-based
organizations. Entities that would like to be included on the list of eligible providers must contact their State education
agency and meet the criteria established by the State to be considered for the list of eligible providers.
Eligible students are students from low-income families who attend Title I schools that are in their second year of school
improvement, in corrective action or in restructuring.
