The Student Support and Academic Enrichment (Title IV, Part A) program provides funding to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing school district capacity to:

  • Provide all students with access to a well-rounded education;
  • Improve school conditions for student learning; and
  • Increase the use of technology to enhance the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.

For the 2023-24 school year, Washington received approximately $20 million. OSPI distributes funds via formula allocations to all eligible school districts.
