American indian tribally controlled colleges and universities

The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education awarded Haskell Indian Nations University $9,323,607 on October 1, 2025, under the Higher Education Institutional Aid program (CFDA 84.031), also known as Strengthening Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities. The award supports institutional development activities designed to strengthen the university's management and fiscal operations and to plan, develop, or implement activities including endowment building to strengthen academic quality. Performance runs through September 30, 2027, at Haskell Indian Nations University's location in Lawrence, Kansas. As a federally recognized tribal college and 1994 Land Grant institution, Haskell qualifies as an eligible applicant under the program's statutory formula for tribally controlled colleges and universities, which prioritizes institutions serving Native American students, including those with low per-full-time-equivalent educational and general expenditures and substantial percentages of students receiving Pell Grants or other federal need-based financial aid. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
