Each year, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is eligible to apply for Federal Impact Aid grant funds. Impact Aid is a federal formula grant program designed to assist local school districts that enroll federally-connected students. Federally-connected students are defined as children of active duty uniformed services personnel, children who live on federal property or federally subsidized housing units, and children whose parents/guardians are employed on eligible federal properties in Maryland. This includes contractors working on federal reservations and Non-Appropriated Fund employees.

The funds MCPS collects are a vital part of the school system’s general operating budget and are critical to helping all students. This year, we are working with our local federal partners, and we need your assistance to identify students with federal, military, and diplomatic connections to ensure MCPS is able to obtain its share from this program. If you believe your child qualifies as federally-connected, please complete the Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid form on the reverse of this letter for each school-aged student in your household. Please sign and date the form and return the survey to your child’s school, folded in half and stapled once or
