Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA TGP 010717
The New Beginning for Tribal Students (NBTS) Program is a competitive grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), administered through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). It is designed to help land-grant colleges and universities provide clear, identifiable, and student-focused support that is specifically aimed at improving outcomes for Tribal students. The core purpose is to strengthen the recruitment, retention, and graduation of Tribal students by funding practical, direct services and supports that address common barriers to persistence and completion in college.
Funding under this program can be used for a range of activities tied to Tribal student success, and the program description emphasizes that allowable uses are not limited to a short list. Examples of supported activities include recruiting Tribal students and covering education-related costs such as tuition and related fees. The program also highlights experiential learning opportunities, which may include hands-on learning that complements classroom instruction and helps students build career-ready skills and stronger connections to their academic programs. In addition, NBTS funds may support student services that are often essential for persistence, such as tutoring, counseling, academic advising, and other supports that directly contribute to improving retention and increasing graduation rates for Tribal students enrolled at the institution.
Eligibility is restricted to specific categories of land-grant institutions: 1862, 1890, and 1994 land-grant colleges and universities. This means the competition is not open to the general public or to institutions outside these land-grant designations. The opportunity falls under the Agriculture funding activity category and is offered as a discretionary grant program, which generally means awards are made through a competitive review process rather than by formula allocation.
The official funding opportunity title is "New Beginning for Tribal Students Program" with Funding Opportunity Number USDA-NIFA-TGP-010717, and it is listed under CFDA (Assistance Listing) 10.527. The application closing date for this cycle was June 5, 2024, and the opportunity was created on April 11, 2024. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000, and the agency expected to make about 12 awards. Overall, the program is positioned as a targeted investment in structured, measurable supports that help Tribal students not only enroll, but stay enrolled and complete their degrees at eligible land-grant institutions.Apply for USDA NIFA TGP 010717
