About School Impact

The Refugee School Impact Program is part of the Division of Refugee Assistance (DRA) and provides funding for activities that lead to the effective integration and education of refugee children.

Students between the ages of 5 and 18 participate in activities that include:

• English as a Second Language instruction
• After-school tutorials
• Programs that encourage high school completion and full participation in school activities
• After-school and/or summer clubs and activities
• Parental involvement programs
• Bilingual/bicultural counselors
• Interpreter services

Refugee School Impact Funding Opportunities Data

** Revised Data for Refugee Children Numbers **

The numbers of refugee children and other eligible populations ages 5 through 18 provided by ORR along with the Funding Opportunity Announcement number HHS-2010-ACF-ORR-ZE-0038 has been revised to include Cuban and Haitian children.

These numbers were previously omitted due to an oversight. As stated in the announcement, “Applications using different figures for their analysis must indicate their sources and account for any differences from the data provided by ORR.”
