Grant Overview

Wyoming's Native American communities on the Wind River Reservation face significant challenges in accessing quality education, with limited resources and infrastructure exacerbating existing disparities. According to the Wyoming Department of Education, Native American students on the reservation experience lower graduation rates and academic achievement compared to their peers statewide. A 2019 report by the National Center for Education Statistics found that Wyoming's Native American students had a graduation rate of 68%, compared to 83% for the state's overall student population.

Who is eligible for Native American education funding in Wyoming? Organizations and individuals supporting Native American students on the Wind River Reservation are eligible, including tribal organizations, faith-based schools, and educational institutions. To be considered, applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of the reservation's unique cultural and educational context, as well as a commitment to preserving Native American cultural heritage.
