Federal Grant Award Summary

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Prince William County Public Schools $304,022 under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041) through a Project Grant effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts affected by federal activities that reduce their local tax base, specifically replacing lost local revenue resulting from the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. This award qualifies under Section 7003 of the program, which supports districts where at least 3 percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance are present.

The funding enables Prince William County Public Schools to supplement its educational operations and support programs serving the substantial population of military-connected and federally affected students within its jurisdiction. As a school district serving a region with significant federal employment and military presence, the district utilizes these annual payments to maintain comprehensive K-12 educational services and support student programs that would otherwise be constrained by reduced local property tax revenue.
