Community facilities - native american tribes

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service awarded a $352,000 Community Facilities Grant to Sitting Bull College, a Tribal College and University (TCU) located on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota. The grant, authorized under CFDA 10.766 "Community Facilities Loans and Grants," will be used by Sitting Bull College to construct, enlarge, extend, or otherwise improve essential community facilities serving the college's rural student population and the broader tribal community. As a TCU, Sitting Bull College provides higher education, research, and community services aligned with Lakota/Dakota culture and values. The college has an extensive portfolio of federal grants supporting its mission to expand educational and economic opportunities for Native American students and strengthen the Standing Rock tribal community. This award demonstrates the college's capacity to successfully administer federal funds to enhance critical infrastructure and services in a rural, tribal area.
