Department of Education federal obligations in Arizona

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.

Awarding agency 091

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.

Arizona place of performance

AZ is the USAspending geography code. Phoenix, Tucson, tribal lands, and rural counties can share the $14,644,873,663.94 total. No tribal or county split is provided. Place of performance is not the same as the location of a state agency office.

Arizona federal spending is the parent hub for every awarding agency. Education is one of them. Treasury’s Arizona cell in this batch uses a different agency code and a different award count; it is a separate join.

A high mean on 2,321 rows

About $6.31 million per award is high relative to HUD-style assistance cells and closer to some Treasury and State Department means. That comparison describes table shape. It does not mean Arizona students receive more per person; population is not in the facts, so per-pupil math would be invention.

Obligations of $14,644,873,663.94 can cover multi-year assistance. Outlays are not reported here. No fiscal year is supplied, so the total is not labeled as a single school year.

Two thousand three hundred twenty-one Arizona Education awards under $14,644,873,663.94 will keep attracting per-pupil questions. Pupil counts are not in the facts, so this page will not divide the dollars by enrollment. The mean near $6.31 million is already a warning that the unit of analysis is the award record, not the student. Formula programs, if present, are unlabeled shares. The overlay is where a CFDA cut would have to come from, not this summary.

What the join is not

This pair does not rank Arizona schools, does not evaluate curriculum, and does not claim federal dollars caused test-score change. It records that agency 091 and state AZ co-occur on 2,321 awards totaling $14,644,873,663.94. Campaign contributions are not part of the table.

Education aggregates often mix formula assistance and other instruments. The facts do not say which share of $14,644,873,663.94 is formula-driven. This page therefore does not label the 2,321 awards as Title I, Pell, or IDEA. Those names would be guesses. The mean of about $6.31 million is a ratio, not aid per student.

How to read the Arizona Education overlay

Department of Education in Arizona is the overlay for agency 091 and state AZ. Arizona federal spending is the parent geography. Department of Education is the national 091 hub. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Opening the state hub is the way to see Education beside Treasury and other Arizona joins without treating $14,644,873,663.94 as the state’s whole federal picture.

Two thousand three hundred twenty-one awards is a modest row count under a large dollar total, which is why the mean is high. Modest row counts are not school counts. One award can cover many districts; many awards can go to one institution. Place of performance AZ does not locate every campus that participates. No school year is in the packet. Assigning the total to a single academic calendar would invent a year.

Questions

How much Department of Education funding is obligated in Arizona?

USAspending records $14,644,873,663.94 in agency 091 obligations with Arizona place of performance, across 2,321 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for the pair, not outlays and not a program-by-program list.

Does this include Pell Grants or Title I?

The facts do not split CFDA programs. $14,644,873,663.94 is the full Department of Education (091) and Arizona obligation total in the aggregate, without a program filter.

Why is the average award about $6.3 million?

The mean is $14,644,873,663.94 divided by 2,321 awards, about $6.31 million. A relatively small row count under a large dollar total produces that mean. It is not a per-student figure.

Is this Arizona’s state education budget?

No. It is federal USAspending obligations for awarding agency 091 with Arizona place of performance. State appropriations are a different ledger.
