Opportunity Summary:
The Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities Endowment Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number A16AP00061) is a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) grant listed as an earmark within the education funding category. It is tied to CFDA 15.028 and was created and posted on April 28, 2016, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2016. The notice makes clear that this posting is a "Notice of Award Only," meaning it is not a competitive, open solicitation inviting new applications. Instead, it is essentially a formal announcement that the agency plans to make a specific award to a named recipient.
Under this notice, BIA intends to award the grant to Fort Peck Community College pursuant to Public Law 95-471, as amended, which is the federal statute commonly associated with support for tribally controlled colleges and universities. The stated purpose of the funding is to provide basic operational support rather than project-specific or short-term program funding. In practical terms, the funds are meant to help cover core institutional needs such as the operation and maintenance of facilities, supporting faculty, and sustaining operational Tribal College and University (TCU) programs. This kind of support is typically aimed at strengthening the ongoing capacity of a tribally controlled institution to deliver education and related services, rather than funding a new initiative with a narrow scope.
The opportunity lists eligible applicants as federally recognized Native American tribal governments, but because this is an award-only notice, eligibility language functions more as a program descriptor than an invitation for other entities to apply. The expected number of awards is one, and the listed award ceiling is $119,745, indicating the anticipated maximum award amount associated with this specific notice. Overall, the posting documents BIA's intent to provide a single, targeted grant to Fort Peck Community College to help maintain the basic infrastructure and staffing needed to operate its TCU programs.
