ND Tribal Colleges fill jobs gaps as funding falters

A new report from the American Indian College Fund and the Brookings Institution finds tribal colleges and universities are delivering strong returns for their communities but inconsistent federal and philanthropic funding makes it harder for the schools to plan for long-term success. The report said federal funding for tribal campuses fell more than 7% over the past decade, while philanthropic giving remains limited and unpredictable. Cheryl Crazy Bull, president and CEO of the American Indian College Fund, said in general, the findings showed significant evidence of chronic underfunding by the federal government, despite trust and treaty obligations. She noted there are lost opportunities for Native communities to work past historical inequities. "You can't really have this self-determination in the Native community without being a culturally grounded, well-educated person," Crazy Bull explained. The report showed investment into Indian Country can benefit both Native and non-Native Americans, with every dollar toward tribal colleges and universities returning $1.60 in tax revenue and public sector savings. The findings come as confidence in higher education is declining nationally. A 2026 Gallup-Lumina survey found just 38% of Americans have a great deal of confidence in higher education, down from 42% last year. Leander McDonald, president of
