Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Institutional Aid ($7,542,000)
The funding will supplement the mandatory funding stream created by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007. The program allows Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions of Higher Education to improve their academic quality, institutional management, and fiscal stability.
Recipient: U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Ave., S.W.
Washington, DC 20002
Why this is a good use of taxpayer dollars: Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders have significantly lower educational attainment rates than the national average. It is vital that we invest in the institutions of higher education serving these individuals.
