Title I

What is Title I?
Overview

Title I is a federal grant program designed to give educational assistance to students living in areas of high poverty. The Title I program originated in 1965 when Congress passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and was reauthorized and amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015. Title I is one of the oldest and largest federal programs supporting elementary and secondary education in existence, and over 90% of the school systems in the United States receive some sort of Title I funding. Title I reaches more than 25 million students enrolled in both public and private schools.
