Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Oshkiogimaag Charter School $212,151 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a project grant supporting educational services to a federally connected student population.

Oshkiogimaag Charter School, a local government entity and federally recognized Indian tribe school district serving Grand Portage, Minnesota, provides K–12 comprehensive educational services to a Native American community. The school qualifies for assistance under Section 7003, which supports 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 work on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The Impact Aid program replaces lost local revenue resulting from Federal property tax exemptions that reduce the tax base available to school districts.

The award obligates $212,151 and covers the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with performance and administrative operations located in Grand Portage, Minnesota.
