Results in Brief: Implementation of the Title VI Indian Education Formula Grants Program
Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development, US Department of Education
Indian Education Formula Grants represent the U.S. Department of Education's largest investment in addressing the unique academic and cultural needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students. The program is aimed at supporting services that are responsive to the unique cultural, language, and educational needs of these students and help them meet academic standards. School districts, tribes, Indian community-based organizations, and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools receiving these grants are required to consult with parents and local tribes in the effort to shape grant-funded services that supplement and enrich regular school programs. This study conducted grantee surveys and case studies to examine the operations of the Title VI grants program across the United States and inform the field about the services that Title VI funds support, how grantees work with stakeholders to identify program-eligible children, and how they measure progress toward their project objectives.
