FutureReadyNYC funding is launch funding to support schools as they develop and implement a high-quality college and career-connected pathway, and not permanent funding. The Office of Student Pathways and superintendent teams will work with you to develop sustainable models that phase ongoing costs into your budgets over the next 2-3 years. Funds for school year 2023-24 will be issued via School Allocation Memo (SAM). Note: All funding is pending budget availability.

As part of the application, your school should have submitted a budget based on the implementation model, pathways development support needs, and the number of sections/students served. The budgets should align with individual funding needs and requirements, up to the specified amounts provided below, along with guidelines on funding usage and amounts.
