This is a Modification to the Announcement for Head Start Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities Partnerships

Executive Summary:

The Office of Head Start (OHS), within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), announces the availability of funds and requests applications for higher education grants for Tribally Controlled Land Grant Colleges and Universities (TCUs) with experience in educating and preparing early childhood education teachers to work effectively with young Native American children and their families. Those receiving grants will work in partnership with Head Start and with Early Head Start programs (when the TCU offers an infant toddler degree or specialization). The primary purpose of these TCUs partnerships is to increase the number of Head Start teaching staff with associate and baccalaureate degrees in early childhood education to improve the quality and long-term effectiveness of education program services to Native American children and their families.  These projects must implement academic programs through partnerships between/among institutions of higher education and Head Start and Early Head Start programs (when infant toddler degrees or specializations can be awarded).

This announcement provides up to $1,000,000 annually for five years to support multiple TCU Partnerships.
