Tribal Colleges Land-Grant Institutions Grants Programs

The 1994 institutions are tribally-controlled institutions of higher learning established to encourage American Indians to continue their education and to provide an environment that is culturally relevant to the student. The following 1994 land-grant institutions programs are intended to strengthen research, extension and teaching capacity in the food and agricultural sciences at these institutions:

• The Tribal Colleges Education Equity Grants Program enhances educational opportunities for Native Americans by strengthening instructional programs in the food and agricultural sciences.
• The Equity in Educational Land-Grant Status Act of 1994 Program (Tribal Colleges Extension Services) Program provides funding for the 1994 land-grant institutions to conduct non-formal education and outreach activities to help meet the needs of the Native American people.
• The Tribal College Research Grants Program assists the 1994 land-grant institutions in conducting agricultural research that addresses high priority concerns of tribal, national or multi-state significance.
• The Tribal Colleges Endowment Fund promotes capacity development in teaching programs in the food and agriculture services.
