Land Grant Colleges for Native Americans

Land Grant Colleges for Native Americans are higher education institutions established through federal legislation, such as the Morrill Act of 1890, to provide educational opportunities and support economic development for Native communities. These colleges often focus on agricultural, technical, and vocational training to empower Native students and promote community growth. Many are historically linked to tribal nations, serving as key resources for cultural preservation, education, and self-sufficiency. These institutions aim to honor Native heritage while offering accessible, practical education to improve living standards and foster leadership within Native communities.
