Blame Youngkin. Not other parents. His VDOE set it up this way.

It's free money. Of course people are lining up for it whether they need it or not. Even if some parents will forfeit it in favor of kids who need it more, many others won't



How do you determine who is more worthy of it? I call BS, and glad I voted the way I did.

I’ve been paying for remediation tutoring for almost 10 years. We can afford it, but I didn’t skip a beat applying for a grant.

If you applied in the past week, you will get denied. They ran out of money for Northern Virginia. I am really upset, my children really could have used this.

We just got the email this morning that our region (Fairfax) is out of money allocations.

Any idea if this is still an option?

I applied last Friday. The application has been 'complete' since Tuesday. I received no notification that there is money available though. Has anyone heard anything about funding being available?

Mathnasium is an approved provider. Just got an email from them about it.

Does anyone know if people are still getting approved for these or if the money ran out?

That’s a lot of complaining for $1500 of free money.
