Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Hillsborough County School District $391,273 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant supporting students affected by federal activities.

The award funds educational services for federally connected children in the school district. Section 7003 provides assistance to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent who works on federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local revenue resulting from federal property's exemption from local property taxes.

The recipient, Hillsborough County School District—the seventh largest school district in the United States, serving over 220,000 students across 306 school sites in the Tampa Bay area—manages the award through its Grants and Research/Adult Career and Technical division, operating as the Middle Schools Education Office. Performance takes place in Tampa, Florida 33602. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Payments are made annually to the eligible local educational agency based on a statutory formula and are prorated if appropriations are insufficient.
