The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) provides grants under the Juvenile Detention Education Program (CFDA 15.150) to eligible Indian Tribes to administer education services for detained and incarcerated American Indian and Alaska Native youth in Bureau-funded juvenile detention centers, with applications processed within 90 days and a notice-of-intent deadline of October 1 each year.
The program funds direct education services delivery at the 24 BIA-funded juvenile detention centers nationwide. Eligible Indian Tribes apply to administer juvenile detention education services within their communities, and awards are renewable annually based on satisfactory performance and fund availability. Education funds flow to recipient Tribes through their existing Public Law 93-638 contracts or Public Law 103-413 Title II Tribal Self-Governance Act Grants, integrating juvenile detention education funding within the broader Tribal governance and contracting framework.
Applicant Tribes must submit initial applications containing the information specified in 25 CFR Part 900, Subpart C, Contract Proposal Contents, to their local Bureau of Indian Affairs agency or regional office. The annual notice-of-intent-to-participate submission date is October 1. Tribes dissatisfied with award decisions may appeal to the Director, Bureau of Indian Education, with further appeals governed by 25 CFR Part 2. Financial, procurement, and property records must be retained for three years from submission of the single audit report, final payment, or disposition, respectively; litigation and audit-exception records must be retained until disputes are resolved.
