State Summer Learning Grants

2025 State Summer Learning Grants Overview

Summer learning is a proven, evidence-based strategy for accelerating academic growth, increasing content retention, and closing opportunity gaps. Decades of research consistently show that high-quality summer learning programs improve academic achievement, strengthen student engagement, and support social-emotional well-being. These programs also foster meaningful relationships between students and caring adults, offer hands-on and project-based learning experiences, and help sustain a love of learning outside of the traditional school year.

Building on the momentum of the 2024 State Summer Learning Grants, House Bill 2007, passed in 2025, provides $35 million for 2025 State Summer Learning Grants. HB 2007 also infuses the state’s priority area of literacy into summer programming by requiring programs to focus on improving reading proficiency and academic outcomes, especially for students reading below grade level.
