Entities such as libraries, schools, tribal colleges, or departments of education are not eligible applicants, although they may be involved in the administration of this program and their staff may serve as project directors, in partnership with an eligible applicant. For purposes of funding under this program, "Indian tribe" means any tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or community, including any Alaska Native village, regional corporation, or village corporation (as defined in or established pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act [43 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq.]), which is recognized by the Secretary of the Interior as eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians. A list of eligible entities is available from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, except for the recognized Alaska Native villages, regional corporations, and village corporations, which should refer to applicable provisions in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, referenced above. The same population cannot be served by more than one Enhancement Grant. IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember: To be eligible to apply for an Enhancement Grant, an eligible Indian tribe must have submitted an application for the 2010 Basic Grant by March 1, 2010.
