Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Onslow County Schools $2,593,794 under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7002 (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025.

The award funds educational services for students in Onslow County Schools, a school district serving Jacksonville, North Carolina, where federal property acquisition has reduced the local tax base. Section 7002 of the Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies where an aggregate of 10 percent or more of assessed real property valuation has been acquired by the federal government since 1938 and the district is not substantially compensated by revenue from activities on eligible federal property. The funding replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise finance education for children affected by federal activities.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031, with all work performed in Jacksonville, NC 28540. Onslow County Schools, a local government entity and school district, serves a military-connected student population in an area with federal activities and military installations. Payments under the program are made annually to eligible local educational agencies and computed on the basis of statutory formula, with prorating if appropriations prove insufficient.
