States Leading Recovery Grant Opportunity

Accelerate is proud to launch the States Leading Recovery grant program for the 2025-26 school year.

Accelerate’s States Leading Recovery (SLR) grant program provides states with grant funding and expert support to strategically leverage and scale high-dosage tutoring to address statewide academic gaps.

We are no longer accepting applications. Grantees will be announced in early 2025.

2023-24 States Leading Recovery

Five states, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Ohio, and Louisiana, were selected through a highly competitive process. Each demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing academic recovery by integrating high-impact tutoring into public schools in the 2023-2024 school year and beyond. Each state will receive $1 million in grant funding and strategic support to pursue this work.

Arkansas

Arkansas is building on a strong foundation, including comprehensive legislation that supports student literacy and requires a statewide tutoring effort, and early efforts to establish a tutoring corps.
