The National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) knows last year was an exceptionally challenging season for summer learning programs, yet they want to acknowledge the many programs that pivoted during the crisis and found innovative ways to keep kids learning, safe and healthy. 

Eligible candidates for the Summer Learning Awards must submit their applications by January 15, 2021. 

Each award-winning program will receive:

• A $10,000 donation, supported by the New York Life Foundation;
• National recognition at NSLA’s Summer Changes Everything™ annual conference (virtual or in-person);
• An official award seal for use on their website and in program publications;
• Connection to a network of award-winning leaders in the field and NSLA’s professional development opportunities; and
• Visibility through national and local media outreach, along with acknowledgment from their local elected officials.
