CFDA Number: | 84.031T - Strengthening Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities |
Program Goal: To improve the capacity of minority-serving institutions, which traditionally have limited resources and serve large numbers of low-income and minority students, to improve student success and to provide high-quality educational opportunities for their students. |
Objective 1 of 4: Maintain or increase enrollments of Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities institutions (TCCUs). |
Indicator 1.1 of 1: Student enrollment: Full-time degree-seeking undergraduate enrollment at TCCUs will increase. |
Survey/Assessment: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Web Site: http://nces.ed.gov/ipedspas/ Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: December 2006 Data Validated By: NCES. Data supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data. Explanation: Fall enrollment data will be monitored annually to measure progress in meeting the long-term target, which is projected to be met in 2009. |
Objective 2 of 4: Maintain or increase the persistence rate for students enrolled at TCCUs. |
Indicator 2.1 of 1: Persistence rate: First year persistence rate of students attending TCCUs will increase. |
Survey/Assessment: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Web Site: http://nces.ed.gov/ipedspas/ Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: December 2006 Data Validated By: NCES. Data supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data. Explanation: Institutions report a persistence rate, not the numerator and denominator. As a result, the persistence rate for TCCUs is calculate as a median. |
Objective 3 of 4: Maintain or increase the graduation rate for students enrolled at TCCUs. |
Indicator 3.1 of 1: Graduation rate: The graduation rate of students enrolled at TCCUs will increase. |
Survey/Assessment: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Web Site: http://nces.ed.gov/ipedspas/ Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: December 2006 Data Validated By: NCES. Data supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data. Explanation: Graduation rate data first became available from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) for FY 2003. 4-year data for 2003-04 (which had been erroneously placed in FY 2003) was used to establish the baseline. 2-year data were recomputed. This data replaces previously reported data that was not as accurate. |
Objective 4 of 4: Maintain or improve the efficiency of service delivery to TCCU students. |
Indicator 4.1 of 1: Efficency measure: Cost per successful program outcome. |

Data supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data. Explanation: The calculation is the appropriation for the Strengthening TCCU program divided by the number of undergraduate enrollments. The $12,386 cost for the 2003-04 value reflects an appropriation of $23.3 million divided by 1,880 graduates. A majority of the funds appropriated for this program are used for construction. |
