Key figures

  • CFDA 84.041 shows $6,859,647,810.61 in USAspending obligations.
  • 4,895 awards and 1,176 recipients sit under that total across 51 states.
  • Award volume is high relative to many formula listings of similar dollar size.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not Treasury outlays.

4,895 awards under $6.86 billion

Assistance listing 84.041 is titled IMPACT AID in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $6,859,647,810.61. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a school operating invoice already paid.

4,895 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $6,859,647,810.61 by 4,895 produces a mean near $1.40 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical per-pupil allocation and not a district salary line. Many district-level actions can add to $6,859,647,810.61 without any single row matching a national enrollment total.

1,176 organizational recipients appear on those rows. 51 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into a student headcount.

1,176 recipients and 51 states

CFDA 84.041 lists 1,176 recipients against 4,895 awards. Recipient count is not unique pupils. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. One school district can hold several awards; 1,176 is not a headcount of schools.

Fifty-one states is a coded-jurisdiction span. Extra modifications can lift the 4,895-award count while dollars stay near $6,859,647,810.61. The Impact Aid hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus education outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $6,859,647,810.61 figure for CFDA 84.041 can include commitments that will disburse as payment years continue. A separate district-eligibility table or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 84.041 program page. Do not stretch 4,895 awards to cover every education dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 84.041 tables omit

The Impact Aid hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a student roster, not a property-tax offset file, and not a ranking of districts. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $6,859,647,810.61.

Place-of-performance on 51 states is a coding field. A district coded to one cell can dominate geography while enrollment sits in several localities. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 84.041

A complete citation is $6,859,647,810.61 in obligations for CFDA 84.041, covering 4,895 awards, 1,176 recipients, and 51 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is award volume rather than dollars, lead with 4,895 awards, then the dollar total.

Start with the Impact Aid program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A worked reading of the 84.041 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 84.041: $6,859,647,810.61 in obligations, 4,895 awards, 1,176 recipients, and 51 states. The mean near $1.40 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 1,176 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 4,895 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $6,859,647,810.61.

Nothing in the extract splits IMPACT AID into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 84.041 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 4,895 awards and 1,176 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $6,859,647,810.61. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $6,859,647,810.61 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 84.041, covering 4,895 awards, 1,176 recipients, and 51 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 4,895 awards into a student headcount, or 1,176 recipients into a school census. The 51-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the IMPACT AID hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $6,859,647,810.61, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 4,895 award rows.
