The National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) is seeking applications from summer learning programs nationwide that strive to curb learning losses in children and youth between pre-kindergarten and twelfth grade. Just for applying, programs receive a feedback summary outlining strengths and areas for improvement. Finalists receive a phone consultation with members of NSLA’s Program Quality Team and winners of the Excellence Awards receive a monetary award and national visibility as part of National Summer Learning Day, July 13, 2017. The deadline to apply for the 2017 New York Life Foundation Excellence in Summer Learning Awards is Wednesday, February 1, 2017.
