Virginia's Learning Acceleration Grant
To address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students' educational progress and well-being, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced the availability of $30 million in the K-12 Learning Acceleration Grant to be used for qualifying education services. Grants are being awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
If your child qualifies, the grant money that families receive must be used at an approved vendor. We are happy to share that The Reading Language Learning Center (RLLC) is an approved vendor for this grant.
How this works
Step 1: Apply
- if your child qualifies to receive a grant

- how to apply for your grant
Step 2: Notify RLLC of application
Once you've applied for the grant please fill out this form to alert RLLC of your application or that you've been approved for the grant.
Step 3: Sign the RLLC agreement
Our admin staff will provide our agreement to you via email to be signed and returned. This agreement notifies you of the processes and what to expect from the use of this grant money at RLLC.
Step 4: Notify RLLC of approval
Once you are approved, VDOE will send you confirmation via email and the VDOE portal. Please send an email to billing@readingllcenter.com to let us know the you have been approved, including the date of your approval.
