Opportunity Summary:
The American Indian Law Center - Pre-law Education Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number A16AB00002) is a Department of the Interior award administered through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (DOI-BIA) to support the American Indian Law Center's Summer Pre-Law Education Program during the FY 2016-2017 period. The funding is provided under Public Law 114-113 and is categorized as an earmark grant, meaning it is a congressionally directed award tied to a specific purpose and recipient activity rather than a broad, open competition. The program falls under the Education activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.059.
This opportunity is specifically available to federally recognized Native American tribal governments as eligible applicants. The intent is to provide targeted grant funding that helps strengthen the pipeline of Native American and Alaska Native students preparing for legal education by supporting pre-law preparation activities delivered through a structured summer program. While the listing itself is brief, the framing as a Summer Pre-Law Education Program indicates a focus on readiness for law school, which commonly includes academic skill-building, exposure to legal reasoning and writing, LSAT preparation support, advising on the law school application process, and broader mentorship and professional development designed to improve participant competitiveness and persistence.
The award information indicates a single expected award (ExpectedAwards: 01) with an award ceiling of $592,000. The posting and creation dates were both June 1, 2016, and the application deadline was June 30, 2016 (both original and current closing dates match). In practical terms, the schedule shows a short application window of about one month from posting to deadline, consistent with earmarked or narrowly scoped funding announcements where the funding purpose and recipients are closely defined.
Overall, this grant opportunity represents a one-time, FY 2016-2017 federal investment routed through DOI-BIA to sustain or deliver the American Indian Law Center's summer pre-law programming, with the broader goal of expanding access to legal education preparation for Native students and supporting long-term capacity in tribal and Indian law leadership.
