Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) received a $884,218 Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district, which qualifies for Impact Aid funding due to the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property, including Indian lands, or having parents employed on federal property or in active military service. The funding supports TUSD's capacity to maintain and enhance educational programming across general instruction, special education, English language acquisition, school nutrition, career and technical education, and teacher training initiatives serving the district's diverse student population in Tucson, Arizona.

As Arizona's largest PreK-12 school district in Southern Arizona, TUSD leverages this Impact Aid Program award alongside other federal education grants to address the fiscal impacts of federal activities on the district's tax base. The six-year performance period allows TUSD to sustain comprehensive educational services and infrastructure development that support the district's commitment to serving Native American, Alaska Native, and military-connected student populations across the region.
