FY25 TCU

Sinte Gleska University received a $4.65 million Project Grant award, effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs under the Assistance to Tribally Controlled Community Colleges and Universities program (CFDA 15.027). This funding supports the operational and infrastructure needs of the tribally controlled institution located on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in Mission, South Dakota. The award enables the university to maintain and enhance core institutional functions necessary for serving Native American students and communities.

The grant funding supports a comprehensive range of academic and community development services, including academic programming, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, workforce development initiatives, cultural preservation efforts, research activities, and community development services. Additionally, the award ensures that Sinte Gleska University maintains required administrative systems encompassing accounting, personnel management, and property management functions. As a 1994 Land Grant College and Tribal College, the institution utilizes this federal investment to strengthen educational opportunities and expand institutional capabilities in support of its mission to serve Native American populations across the region.
