Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Pershing County School District $116,338 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award supports the district's operations in Lovelock, Nevada, through September 30, 2031, as a Project Grant.

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the district's tax base and revenue capacity. Section 7003 eligibility requires at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance to live on Federal property, have a parent working on Federal property, or be dependents of active-duty service members. Pershing County, a small rural school district serving students across Pershing County, qualifies for this assistance to replace lost local revenue that would otherwise fund education of these children.
