I heard that Summer Advantage USA programs are free for some students. Is that true?
Our partner districts believe in the value of summer learning for children and dedicate a variety of resources to provide the Summer Advantage USA programs at low or no cost to parents.

Please email outreach@summeradvantage.org for more information.

1) qualifies for free or reduced lunch,
