About this award
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Eastern Band Of Cherokee Indians $5,237,496 under the American Indian Head Start and Early Head Start program on February 1, 2026, through the five-year Project Grant assistance type.
The award funds comprehensive early childhood education and family services delivered to American Indian children and families in the tribe's service area in western North Carolina, including the Qualla Boundary and adjacent counties. Head Start services encompass educational, health, nutritional, social, and other supports promoting school readiness and social-emotional development for preschool-age children, while Early Head Start serves infants, toddlers, and pregnant women. The program engages parents as partners in service delivery.
Performance runs through January 31, 2031. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, a federally recognized tribal government headquartered in Cherokee, North Carolina, serves as the prime recipient and direct service provider. The award represents the tribe's continuation funding for this program line; Head Start awards to Indian tribes and Alaska Native entities are issued centrally by the Office of Head Start rather than through regional offices.
