Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA TCEG 006541
The Tribal Colleges Education Equity Grants (TCEG) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). For fiscal year 2018, the program is designed to strengthen post-secondary education at the 1994 Land-grant Institutions, commonly referred to as the "1994s," and to expand educational opportunities for American Indian students and communities. In practical terms, the program focuses on improving the capacity, quality, and reach of Tribal colleges and universities that hold 1994 Land-grant status, supporting efforts that help these institutions deliver stronger academic programs and better serve their students.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number USDA NIFA TCEG 006541 and falls within the Agriculture and Education funding activity categories. The assistance listing is CFDA 10.221. Funding is provided through a grant instrument, meaning applicants propose projects aligned with the program goals and, if selected, receive federal funding to carry out those activities under the grant terms and conditions. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, which generally indicates that proposals are competitively reviewed and awards depend on the quality of applications and the availability of funds.
Eligibility is targeted to the entities described in the opportunity as "Others," with the program purpose and description clearly pointing to 1994 Land-grant Institutions as the intended applicants and beneficiaries. The central aim is education equity: helping Tribal colleges enhance postsecondary instruction and related institutional supports in ways that increase access and success for American Indian students.
