Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $230,552.00 to Uintah School District through the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This Project Grant supports the school district's provision of comprehensive K-12 educational services to federally connected student populations in Vernal, Utah. Under Impact Aid Program Section 7003, the funding addresses the educational needs of students living on or near federal property—including Indian lands—or whose parents work on federal property or serve in the uniformed services. The district utilizes these funds to enhance general instruction, special education services, English language learner programs, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration across its service area.

The Uintah School District's receipt of this award reflects its eligibility under Section 7003 criteria, as the district enrolls a significant population of federally connected children in average daily attendance. This Impact Aid funding complements the district's existing federal grant portfolio, including Indian Education Formula Grants and other Department of Education awards, enabling the district to maintain educational quality and meet academic standards for its K-12 student population despite the reduced local tax base resulting from federal land presence in the region.
