Description
The Indian Education Formula Grant (Title VI) is funded by the U.S. Department of Education and presented in North Carolina through the Department of Public Instruction. The program addresses the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students, helping them meet the same challenging state academic standards as other students.
Grants supplement regular school programs through reading, mathematics, science, and general academic tutoring, culturally responsive after-school programs, Native language classes, and early childhood education. Other supported activities include wellness, career and college awareness, cultural workshops, attendance and graduation improvement, and dropout prevention. The program also provides enrichment opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to Indian children.
