DO NOT WAIT!! The deadline to submit your school district’s fiscal year (FY) 2026 Impact Aid application is at 11:59 p.m. EST on January 31, 2025. Start now to avoid a 10% payment penalty.
As of January 27, roughly 46% of applications are submitted, 37% are in progress, and 16% have not been started.
Given the large number of applicants that are in progress or not started, we expect high call volumes this week and may have difficulty assisting everyone.
It is imperative that you complete your application as soon as possible.
Review the Submitting a 7003 Application in IAGS Guide for detailed instructions.
The Impact Aid Program office closes at 6 p.m. Eastern Time on January 31.
Important Impact Aid Grant System Reminders
- Your application is not final until your signatory completes the Application Signature task.
- After you submit your application for signature, the application will be placed in the signatory user task grid.
- Acknowledge the Membership Statements of Intent
- To progress to page two, read the three statements of intent on the right side of the page in the membership section, then click each of the three acknowledgement boxes. See page 27 of the Submitting a 7003 Application Guide for more information.
- Upload supporting documentation for properties that require annual review.
- If, when entering child counts for a given property, a red document icon appears to the left of the property name you will be required to upload supporting documentation for that property before submitting the application. You can upload the supporting documentation (usually a source check form) on the last page of the application under the section “Properties Requiring Survey Document”.
- Save your progress if multiple users are working with the application.
- To ensure that all application editors can access and edit the application, click on “Save”, or “Save & Exit” when you have completed your edits. This ensures other users will be able to access and edit the application from their task grid.
- Check your Task Grid for In Progress applications.
- In progress applications will always be found in your task grid. To return to the application, click on the Home icon at the top of your screen and look for the application within your task grid. If you are unable to edit fields on a page of the application, it is likely you have not opened the application from the task grid.
