$70M gift offers hope to Michigan Tribal college amid funding gap

A $70 million gift to the American Indian College Fund could help expand scholarships and student support at tribal colleges, including those in Michigan. The donation from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott will fund a seven-year plan to strengthen Native American higher education. Recent data pointed to longstanding funding shortages for tribal colleges.

"Many times when we get the funding, it's very exciting, you get it for two or three years, and then the funding's gone. And so, how do you sustain those programs? And so, you end up modifying," Sineway explained. Sineway pointed out funding gaps can mean fewer staff and reduced student services. She noted the college also needs money for building maintenance and academic support. The American Indian College Fund says some of the donation will be used for coaching and career opportunities. The investment comes as Native American students continue to face barriers to higher education. According to U.S. Census figures, just 16% of American Indian and Alaska Native adults have earned a bachelor's degree or higher, compared with 33% of adults

Michigan voters have elected a new governor, Jocelyn Benson, who promises to transform education and guarantee that when students graduate from the public school system, they are college and career ready.

Her education plan says she would also “enable statewide tracking of literacy rates and improvements.” Benson would also ensure first-year teachers receive starting salaries of $60,000 a year minimum.
