Federal Grant Award Summary

Middle College High School, a local educational agency (LEA) in Gallup, New Mexico, received a $715,833 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to compensate the school district for reduced local tax revenues resulting from federal land presence and high enrollment of federally connected children—including those living on federal property or with parents on active military duty. The funding supports the district's delivery of critical educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning services, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training initiatives, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program award reflects the LEA's demonstrated need as a federally impacted district serving a significant proportion of eligible federally connected students in average daily attendance. This multi-year funding commitment enables Middle College High School to maintain and expand instructional capacity despite the constrained local tax base characteristic of regions with substantial federal land holdings, positioning the institution to sustain comprehensive educational services throughout the performance period.
