Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Yupiit School District $3.288 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant providing financial assistance to school districts affected by Federal activities.

Yupiit School District serves Alaska Native students in Akiachak, Alaska. The district educates children living on or connected to Federal property, including Indian lands, whose presence reduces the local tax base available to fund education. Impact Aid replaces revenue lost because Federal property is exempt from local taxation.

The award runs through September 30, 2031, with performance at Akiachak, AK 99551. Yupiit School District is a local government entity and Alaska Native-serving institution registered in SAM.gov since 2005. Under Section 7003, the district qualifies for assistance because it enrolls at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance, or educates children with parents who work on Federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services. Payments under Impact Aid are computed on a statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs.
