Special Funding Opportunity!

OHS announces the availability of $2 million to be competitively awarded to tribal colleges and universities for the purpose of establishing or enhancing partnerships with Head Start programs to increase the number of qualified education staff working in American Indian and Alaskan Native (AIAN) Head Start programs. The funded Tribal Colleges and Universities Head Start Partnership Programs will offer carefully designed, high-quality, accessible, and flexible programs that increase the number of qualified staff eligible for Head Start and Early Head Start education positions. Successful applicants will partner with AIAN Head Start recipients and identify the number of students to be enrolled, how to retain students through the program design and responsive and effective supports, and the number of credentials or degrees expected to be conferred.
