FY25 TCU

Tohono O'Odham Community College received a $7.83 million Project Grant award effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, under the Assistance to Tribally Controlled Community Colleges and Universities program (CFDA 15.027), administered by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education/School Operations. This funding supports the college's core operational activities, including academic programming, STEM education, workforce development, cultural preservation initiatives, research activities, and community development services. The grant enables the institution to maintain and enhance educational opportunities for Native American students while strengthening its physical resources and institutional capabilities as a tribal college serving the Tohono O'Odham Nation in Sells, Arizona.

The award requires the college to maintain required administrative systems encompassing accounting, personnel, and property management functions to ensure responsible stewardship of federal funds. As a 1994 Land Grant College and minority-serving institution, Tohono O'Odham Community College utilizes this funding to support its comprehensive mission of providing higher education access to underrepresented and low-income student populations while advancing economic and academic development within the Tohono O'Odham community.
