Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Abilene Independent School District (AISD) a Project Grant totaling $207,420.00 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies 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, and/or have a parent who works on federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports AISD's delivery of comprehensive K-12 educational services in Abilene, Texas, including general instruction, special education, English language learner support, school nutrition, career and technical education, and technology integration. These services are designed to maintain and enhance educational programming in the school district, which faces a reduced local tax base due to federally connected student populations. The award represents part of AISD's broader federal grant portfolio, which includes substantial funding from the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies to support diverse student populations and address educational equity across multiple program areas.
