Pertinent data to be provided by program staff at a future date.
The Tribal Colleges Endowment Program is an interest-bearing account. Congress appropriates funding for this account annually. Each 1994 Land-Grant University receives an annual funding allotment based in part on the previous year’s interest earned and the number of American Indian students attending the institution. The 1994 Land-Grant presidents can use these funds at their discretion. They may restore or upgrade infrastructure, supplement other NIFA grants, or keep the funding indefinitely as a resource to address future or unanticipated needs. There are no projects that are submitted to NIFA for this program and the annual interest is split between the schools in a formula basis.
