Three North Dakota schools receive federal grants to support Native education
Three North Dakota schools are receiving nearly $1 million through the Indian Children Program to improve education for Native American students, according to KFYR. The program supports development, testing and demonstration projects aimed at strengthening educational outcomes.
Devils Lake Public School District will receive more than $290,000, Turtle Mountain College will receive just over $360,000 and the University of North Dakota will be awarded nearly $300,000. The funding will also assist college students pursuing careers as teachers and administrators.
