Fiscal Year 2022 Supplemental Grant Awards for the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act

On June 25, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), legislation
that expands vital mental health services and provides additional support for States and districts to design and enhance initiatives that will promote safer, more inclusive, and positive school environments for all students, educators, and school staff.

The BSCA includes an appropriation of $50 million for the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning
Centers (21st CCLC) program. The U.S. Department of Education (Department) will allocate BSCA funds to
your State through a supplemental grant award to your State’s existing Federal fiscal year (FY) 2022 grant for
the 21st CCLC program awarded on July 1, 2022, using the same formula used for your FY 2022 award. The
same terms and conditions will apply to this supplemental award; no action is needed to receive the
supplemental award.
