Community School Interventions Boost Student Attendance and Engagement
In May 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration held its Every Day Counts Summit, focused on evidence-based strategies to improve student attendance and engagement, including: increasing effective communication with families, making schools more engaging for students, and meeting students’ needs by investing in community schools. Building on this work, this resource highlights how the U.S. Department of Education’s Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) program can be leveraged as a whole child, place-based strategy to improve student attendance, engagement, and success.
Fiscal Year 2024 Funding
Congress appropriated $150 million for the U.S. Department of Education's Full-Service Community School (FSCS) Grant program for fiscal year (FY) 2024. All available funds will be used to meet the continuation award obligations for the 19 grants originally funded in FY 2020, the 42 grants originally funded in FY 2022, and the 30 grants funded in FY 2023. FSCS will not hold a new grant competition in FY 2024.
Fiscal Year 2023 FSCS New Grant Awards:
The U.S. Department of Education announced nearly $74 million in new, five-year Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) grants to support an additional 30 local educational agencies, nonprofits, and other public or private organizations and institutions of higher education working to expand community schools. The Biden-Harris Administration has expanded Full-Service Community Schools five-fold, from $25 million in 2020 to $150 million in 2023. This year's grantees will support 102 school districts, 292 schools, and 229,549 students by providing a range of services, including by increasing early learning opportunities and expanding cross-agency coordination for community violence interventions.
More information about the new grantees is posted on the FSCS Awards webpage.
More information about the FY 2023 FSCS grant competition can be found on our Eligibility and Archived Application webpage.

What's New?
Community School Interventions Boost Student Attendance and Engagement
In May 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration held its Every Day Counts Summit, focused on evidence-based strategies to improve student attendance and engagement, including: increasing effective communication with families, making schools more engaging for students, and meeting students’ needs by investing in community schools. Building on this work, this resource highlights how the U.S. Department of Education’s Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) program can be leveraged as a whole child, place-based strategy to improve student attendance, engagement, and success.
Fiscal Year 2024 Funding
Congress appropriated $150 million for the U.S. Department of Education's Full-Service Community School (FSCS) Grant program for fiscal year (FY) 2024. All available funds will be used to meet the continuation award obligations for the 19 grants originally funded in FY 2020, the 42 grants originally funded in FY 2022, and the 30 grants funded in FY 2023. FSCS will not hold a new grant competition in FY 2024.
Fiscal Year 2023 FSCS New Grant Awards:
The U.S. Department of Education announced nearly $74 million in new, five-year Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) grants to support an additional 30 local educational agencies, nonprofits, and other public or private organizations and institutions of higher education working to expand community schools. The Biden-Harris Administration has expanded Full-Service Community Schools five-fold, from $25 million in 2020 to $150 million in 2023. This year's grantees will support 102 school districts, 292 schools, and 229,549 students by providing a range of services, including by increasing early learning opportunities and expanding cross-agency coordination for community violence interventions.
More information about the new grantees is posted on the FSCS Awards webpage.
More information about the FY 2023 FSCS grant competition can be found on our Eligibility and Archived Application webpage.
