Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $641,087 to Shonto Preparatory School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

Shonto Preparatory School District, a tribal government educational institution serving a predominantly Native American student population in Shonto, Arizona, received this Project Grant to help offset the financial burden on the local educational agency from the presence of eligible federally connected children living on Federal property and Indian lands. Impact Aid Section 7003 provides assistance to districts 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 program replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to local educational agencies, as such Federal property is exempt from local property taxes.

Performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Shonto, Arizona. The award supports comprehensive K-12 educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration serving rural and Native American students.
