About the company
Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College Administration Division, a tribal educational institution and division of the federally recognized Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Interior, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Justice to support STEM education, tribal student support services, environmental research, and campus safety programming. The college operates as an American Indian owned, 1994 Land Grant tribal college located in L'Anse and Baraga, Michigan, serving Native American students in the Upper Peninsula through curriculum rooted in Ojibwa culture, tradition, and beliefs.
KBOCC's grant footprint spans applied research and workforce development in STEM, community-based extension and food systems programming, student support and retention, campus gender-based violence prevention, and tribal education operations. Recent representative awards include a $700,000 NSF Division of Undergraduate Education project grant (CFDA 47.076) awarded September 1, 2026, running through August 31, 2030, to integrate additive manufacturing, AI biotechnology, sustainable design, and applied microbiology into health sciences and STEM curricula through course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) and nano sensor prototyping projects; a $587,975 Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Assistance to Tribally Controlled Community Colleges and Universities grant (CFDA 15.027) covering operational and institutional activities from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026; a $500,000 Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women project grant (CFDA 16.525) from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2027 to build culturally specific institutional capacity to address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking affecting Native and Two-Spirit/LGBTQ+ students; and NSF Tribal Colleges and Universities Program COVID-recovery STEM faculty support grants ($200,000 and $169,465, both completed February 28, 2023) that sustained instructional capacity during pandemic-driven enrollment declines.
The college also holds recurring federal 1994 Endowment Fund formula grants from the Department of Education and USDA funding through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture for extension programming (Native Food Pathways) and food science and agriculture curriculum development aligned with Ojibwa cultural knowledge. Environmental research funding from the NSF Institute of Youth, Family, and Community supports surface water monitoring, riparian wetlands habitat research, and weather and climate data analysis across 40 streams on the L'Anse Indian Reservation, with deliverables including peer-reviewed publications, student capstone projects, and findings to support tribal fisheries programs.
Customer concentration is dispersed across NSF (STEM education and research), the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture and Rural Housing Service (18 and 8 awards respectively across the portfolio), the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (9 awards), and the Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs (5 awards), together accounting for 71% of the award count. The college operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no subcontract or sub-award activity. Award volume has remained steady at 4-5 awards per year through 2024, with only one award recorded in 2025 and one in 2026, and four awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
