Project Grant S041B260144

The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District received a $102,392.00 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services in a local educational agency (LEA) adversely affected by federal activities, specifically addressing reduced local tax base conditions. The Impact Aid Program funding is designated to help maintain and enhance educational programming, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

As a school district serving approximately 12,631 students across 33-35 schools in Fairbanks, Alaska, the district is eligible for Impact Aid support under Section 7003, which serves LEAs where at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property or have parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. This funding complements the district's ongoing federal grant portfolio, which includes Indian Education Formula Grants addressing Native Alaskan student needs and military-connected student achievement initiatives, enabling the district to deliver comprehensive educational services to its diverse student population.
