County Of Delaware Grove School received $203,179 in federal funding through the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The award period runs from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

The funded activities include academic instruction, cultural programming, and teacher professional development tailored to Native American students, with the overarching objective of enabling AIAN students to meet challenging state academic standards while preserving their cultural heritage. The school district also receives supplemental sub-awards from the State Department of Education covering complementary initiatives such as special education services, rural school support, student nutrition programs, and school counseling. These combined federal and state-supported programs reflect a multifaceted approach to ensuring equitable educational outcomes for the school's Native American student population and other economically disadvantaged students in the rural community.
