FY25 TCU

Nebraska Indian Community College (NICC) received a $2.46 million Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs School Operations under the Assistance to Tribally Controlled Community Colleges and Universities program (CFDA 15.027), effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. This funding supports NICC's core operational and educational activities as a tribally controlled 1994 Land Grant College serving Native American communities across Nebraska from its location in Macy.

The grant enables NICC to deliver comprehensive educational services and institutional operations including academic programming, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, workforce development initiatives, cultural preservation activities, research collaborations, and community development services. The funding also supports the maintenance of required administrative systems encompassing accounting, personnel management, and property management functions. As a Minority Institution and Tribal College, NICC utilizes this federal investment to expand educational opportunities for Native American students while enhancing institutional capacity and physical resources to serve the unique needs of tribal communities in the region.
