Project Grant S041B263167

The Albuquerque Public School District (APS) received a Project Grant award of $198,218 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports educational services for the district's federally connected student population, particularly those residing on or near federal property, including Native American tribal lands such as areas of the Navajo Nation. The funding is designated under Title VII, Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, which provides assistance to local educational agencies serving students with at least one parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The grant enables APS to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational services across its 88 elementary schools, 31 middle schools, 13 high schools, 3 K-8 schools, and 6 schools of choice, serving a diverse student population of 68,346 students. The award specifically supports educational programs and services for federally connected children in the Albuquerque area, addressing the reduced local tax base resulting from federal land presence and military activities that affect the district's revenue capacity to provide educational services to this vulnerable student population.
