Indian education formula grants to leas

The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $109,268 Indian Education Formula Grant to the Oneida Nation, doing business as the Oneida Housing Authority, for the period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. This grant is provided under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), which aims to address the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Native American students so they can meet challenging state performance standards.

Through this formula grant, the Oneida Nation will deliver culturally tailored education programs and support services to help Native American youth attending local schools. The Oneida Nation has also received similar Indian Education Formula Grants from the Department of Education over multiple years to support its efforts in this area. Additionally, the Oneida Nation has provided a variety of other health and human services, including opioid abuse prevention, behavioral health, nutrition, public health infrastructure, and family support services, through prime and sub-awards from other federal and state agencies.
