Title VII Indian Education Program

Mission Statement:

The Title VII Indian Education Program focuses on the academic success of children enrolled with our program. The main emphasis of the Title VII program is to provide academic support, but cultural opportunities and other support services are also available. If your child is of Native American ancestry you have the opportunity to enroll them in your local school’s Indian Education Program. To be eligible for services your child does not have to be a member of a tribe but must be of Native American ancestry. Our program is not limited to local Native Americans; we provide services to all North American Natives.

Title VII Federal Grant funds supplement the regular school program by helping Native children sharpen their academic skills, assisting students in becoming proficient in the core content areas, and providing students an opportunity to participate in enrichment programs that would otherwise be unavailable. We support such activities as after-school programs, enrichment programs, tutoring, and dropout prevention. The program’s funding is based on challenging Michigan State content standards and Michigan State student performance standards used for all students, and designed to assist Native students to meet those standards. Each Indian Education Office has different and unique opportunities and services for tribal youth.
