Project Grant S041B257233

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $353,665 Project Grant under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) to the Six Directions Indigenous School in Gallup, New Mexico. This grant, awarded on December 16, 2024, will provide financial assistance to the school district to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and supplemental academic initiatives. The Impact Aid Program supports school districts with significant federal land presence, such as military bases, Native American reservations, or other federally owned properties that limit the district's ability to generate local tax revenue. The grant will cover a performance period from December 2024 to September 2030, enabling the Six Directions Indigenous School to continue delivering high-quality educational programming to its student population, which is primarily composed of Indigenous students.
