Summary

The purpose of the Extended Learning and Integrated Student Supports Competitive Grant Program (ELISS) is to fund high-quality, independently validated extended learning and integrated student support service programs for at-risk students that raise standards for student academic outcomes by focusing on the following:

Use of an evidence-based model with a proven track record of success.
Inclusion of rigorous, quantitative performance measures to confirm effectiveness of the program.
Deployment of multiple tiered supports in schools to address student barriers to achievement, such as strategies to improve chronic absenteeism, antisocial behaviors, academic growth, and enhancement of parent and family engagement.
Alignment with State performance measures, student academic goals, and the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.
Prioritization in programs to integrate clear academic content, in particular, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning opportunities or reading development and proficiency instruction.
Minimization of student class size when providing instruction or instructional supports and interventions.
Expansion of student access to high-quality learning activities and academic support that strengthen student engagement and leverage community-based resources, which may include organizations that provide mentoring services and private-sector employer involvement.
Utilization of digital content to expand learning time, when appropriate.

Competitive Priorities:

Title I, Part A matching funds
Serving students from alternative learning programs and/or schools
Extended learning year 2 program component
- Afterschool programs
- Summer learning programs

History of Funding

None is available.

Additional Information

During the academic year, all applicants must propose to operate an integrated student supports (ISS) program that provides supplemental support (often called Tier II) and/or intensive support (often called Tier III) services during school-day hours. NCDPI defines supplemental (Tier II) and intensive (Tier III) supports as the following1 :

Supplemental Supports (Tier II): Provided through small group, standardized academic interventions, or targeted social, emotional, behavioral supports using validated intervention programs. Teams select or design interventions and supports that have demonstrated positive effects for desired outcomes and are aligned with student needs.
Intensive Supports (Tier III): Provided through intensive intervention to help students with severe and persistent learning and/or social, emotional, behavioral needs. It is not a specific program, but a data-driven process that is characterized by increased intensity and individualization of instruction and tailored one-on-one support.

Eligibility Details

Nonprofit corporations, and nonprofit corporations working in collaboration with local education agencies (LEAs) are eligible to apply for the 2023-2025 ELISS Competitive Grant Program to implement new or existing eligible programs for at-risk students. This does restrict stand-alone applications from LEAs, charter schools, lab schools, or other governmental or educational agencies.

Award Details

Grant participants are eligible to receive grants for up to two years in an amount of up to five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) each year. No organization will receive an award totaling more than $500,000 annually. For the purpose of the 2023-2025 ELISS Grant Program, applicants may request funds ranging from $50,000, not to exceed $500,000 based on:
1. needs identified in the community and schools
2. scope of the program
3. proposed number of students served; and
4. program design.
To determine the level of funding eligibility, NCDPI utilized the Student Success Planning Cost Estimate Tool from the Harvard Graduate School of Education to develop the funding ranges below. The funding ranges are based on the number of students served, the duration of the program, and potential staffing costs:
- Funding Level I: proposing to serve 25-49 students: $50,000 - $200,000
- Funding Level II: proposing to serve 50-75 students: up to $250,000
- Funding Level III: proposing to serve 76-150 students: up to $250,000
- Funding Level IV: proposing to serve 151+ students: up to $500,000
These funding levels encompass the required Tier II/III supports as well as the option core (Tier I) and EL supports.

Applicants must provide certification to NCDPI that the grants received under the 2023-2025 ELISS program shall be matched on the basis of three dollars in grant funds for every one dollar in non-grant funds. Matching funds may include in-kind contributions for up to 50% of the required match.
