Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Fort Thomas Unified School District $6.162 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

Fort Thomas Unified School District, a local educational agency serving Fort Thomas, Arizona, receives this project grant to replace lost local revenue resulting from the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or whose parents work on Federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services—who would otherwise reduce the district's tax base. The award funds comprehensive K-12 educational services with particular emphasis on supporting Native American students in the region.

The grant runs through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Fort Thomas, Arizona. Impact Aid is designed to provide financial assistance to school districts where the enrollment of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance reaches at least three percent or 400 students, as is the case for Fort Thomas Unified School District under Section 7003 eligibility criteria.
