The Partnership for Student Success is excited to launch the 2027 Community Collaboration Challenge (CCC) competition. The 2027 CCC will provide $3,000 – $8,000 awards to communities across the country and is designed to support collaboration and pilots to increase access to quality, K-12 student supports across five evidence-based support areas: high-impact tutoring, mentoring, student success coaching, postsecondary transition coaching, and wraparound/integrated student supports.

This year’s competition will follow a two-step process. First, we will ask organizations to submit an Intent to Apply. The top applicants (approximately 10%) will be invited to submit a full application.

We encourage nonprofits, schools, districts, higher education institutions, and state and local government agencies and intermediaries to submit an Intent to Apply for these awards to facilitate collaboration to expand or improve evidence-based and people-powered supports for local K-12 students.
