Belcourt School District (doing business as Turtle Mountain High School) received a formula grant award of $395,623 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060). The award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, supports comprehensive educational services designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian students in the Belcourt, North Dakota area.

The grant funding supports a range of educational products and services including academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, targeted student support services, and technology integration. These initiatives are designed to help American Indian and Alaska Native students meet challenging state academic standards while preserving cultural heritage. As a school district with a predominantly Native American student population, Belcourt School District utilizes this annual formula grant award to deliver K-12 educational programming with a particular emphasis on literacy, mathematics achievement, and culturally responsive activities, consistent with the program's statutory performance measurement requirements.
