Project Grant S041B265752

The U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Grand Forks Air Force Base Public School District NO. 140 a $4.34 million Impact Aid Program Project Grant (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to replace lost local property tax 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. Under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Impact Aid Program, the district qualifies for funding based on enrollment of at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance.

The funding supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the district's unique military-connected student population associated with Grand Forks Air Force Base. Resources enable the district to deliver general instruction, special education, English language learning programs, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, curriculum development, academic interventions, counseling, and enrichment programs designed to address the academic, social, and emotional needs of highly mobile military families and close achievement gaps within this specialized student population.
