Program Eligibility
Students qualify if they are VPK - 5th graders in a VPK program, public school, or charter school, who have tested below grade level in reading at any point since August 2021. Your child is still eligible even if their scores improve and there’s no income requirement to participate!
Not sure if your child is eligible? Apply anyways! When in doubt, fill the application out.
