The National Center for Urban Education is in the process of applying for a 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant from the Illinois State Board of Education. This announcement serves as official notice of this application process.  

If the grant is successfully awarded, the National Center for Urban Education will be able to provide students with before, after-school, and summer learning opportunities on a year-round basis. We will also be able to serve participating students’ family members with an array of support services that will promote at-home learning.

If you are interested in learning more or serving as a potential partner, please contact Dr. Maria Luisa Zamudio-Mainou at mmzamud@ilstu.edu.
