Description
The Educational Stability Grant, administered by the Colorado Department of Education (CDE), is designed to address the academic and social-emotional needs of highly mobile students—specifically those in foster care, experiencing homelessness, or of migrant status. Established under Colorado House Bill 18-1306, the program aims to remove barriers to educational success for these vulnerable populations, who face frequent school changes and increased risk of poor academic outcomes. The grant funds a range of services and supports, such as tutoring, transportation assistance, mentoring, family engagement, and mental health services, with the goal of improving attendance, grade-level promotion, graduation rates, and overall student well-being.
