Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) intended to strengthen Tribal Colleges and Universities by supporting both campus facilities and community-facing services. The core aim is to help eligible TCUs build, expand, renovate, and equip their physical infrastructure, while also encouraging them to play a broader, more direct role in meeting local needs. In practical terms, the program is designed to back projects that improve the learning environment and institutional capacity on campus and, at the same time, extend the institution's impact into surrounding tribal communities through services such as health-related programs, employment and job training initiatives, and economic development activities.
Funding for this particular notice (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5415 N 06) was estimated at $6,300,000 in total, with individual awards capped at $800,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a specific non-federal match to be considered eligible. The opportunity is categorized across several public-purpose areas, including community development, education, employment and labor training, housing, and information/statistics, reflecting the program's dual emphasis on facilities improvements and broader community development outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to Tribal Colleges and Universities that meet the definition of a TCU established in Title III of the 1998 Amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Public Law 105-244, approved October 7, 1998). The applicant institution must be a two-year or four-year fully accredited institution, or it must indicate in the application abstract that it is a candidate for accreditation by a regional institutional accrediting association recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. One important restriction in this notice is that institutions that received grants in FY 2009 are not eligible to apply under this NOFA, which effectively prioritizes TCUs that did not receive funding in the immediately preceding fiscal year.
Key dates associated with the notice indicate it was posted on July 16, 2010, with an original closing date of August 16, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of August 19, 2010. The record shows it was archived on August 25, 2010. The announcement was made available through Grants.gov (linked in the source as https://apply07.grants.gov/apply/). For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, HUD provided points of contact: Kinnard Wright at (202) 402-7495 and Susan Brunson at (202) 402-3852.
