Current Projects & News

The American Indian College Fund is proud of the relationships it has developed with its corporate and foundation partners. Through their innovative support, the Fund is able to expand the level and type of assistance it can provide to the tribal colleges and individual students.

This assistance allows schools to expand their degree offerings, increase their intellectual capacity by offering professional development assistance to faculty and staff, increase the number and dollar amount of scholarships, offer language and cultural preservation programs, and more.

We are excited to announce a new Fellowship program administered by the American Indian College Fund.  The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation is funding the STEM Leadership Fellowship for faculty at a Tribal College or University.  This Fellowship will provide $36,000.00 in funds for a TCU Faculty who is ABD on their Ph.D. program in a STEM discipline.  As with the Mellon programs listed below, the purpose behind this grant is to ultimately provide Tribal Colleges and Universities with more Ph.D. professors while conducting and disseminating research relevant to other TCUs and Indian Country in general.
