Education and Arizona in the same cell

Department of Education (agency 091) awards tagged to Arizona sum to $14,644,873,663.94 on 2,321 awards. That is a small row count next to a large dollar total, so the mean sits near $6.31 million. Title I, Pell, or IDEA might come to mind; none of those program names are in the facts. The join is agency plus state, not a catalog of formulas.

Two thousand three hundred twenty-one awards can still include many distinct recipients if each award is large, or few recipients with multiple awards. The aggregate does not say which. 2,321 is a record count, not a school count.

Arizona’s tribal and rural districts are not broken out of $14,644,873,663.94. The 2,321-award count does not say how many of those records concern Bureau-adjacent or charter recipients. Place of performance AZ is a single statewide tag. Researchers who need a tribal or county cut have to leave this aggregate.

The Department of Education hub lists agency 091 nationwide. Arizona’s $14,644,873,663.94 is one state inside that hub. Other states have their own Education ties with different award counts and dollar totals; those pages are not interchangeable with this Arizona cell.

Overlay /states/az/agencies/091/ is the filtered table. Readers should match 2,321 awards and $14,644,873,663.94 to that overlay rather than to a state education department’s own published grants list, which may use different years and definitions.
