- Section 905(a)(8) of the Act specifies the following entities as eligible to receive grants pursuant to the TBCP: (i) a Tribal Government; (ii) a Tribal College or University; (iii) the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands on behalf of the Native Hawaiian Community, including Native Hawaiian Education Programs; (iv) a Tribal organization; or (v) an Alaska Native Corporation. There are several instances where applicants will need to obtain a Tribal Government Resolution. Each Eligible Entity must coordinate internally (which includes all departments, subsidiaries, etc.) in submitting its single application.

Eligible Entities that previously received TBCP grant funding may apply for additional grant funding pursuant to this NOFO.
