Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Onslow County Schools $3,126,630 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award funds general K-12 educational services for military-connected and federally connected students in Onslow County, North Carolina, where the presence of military installations creates a concentration of children whose parents work on or live on Federal property or serve on active duty in the uniformed services. The district meets Section 7003 eligibility criteria through enrollment of at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance. Performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Jacksonville, North Carolina. This assistance type is a Project Grant. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to school districts financially burdened by the tax-exempt status of Federal property, which denies LEAs access to local property tax revenue otherwise available to finance education.
