Purpose Statement
Title VI Grant 506 Forms
The Native American Education Program is funded by the Title VI Grant. We need your help by filling out the 506 form and sending it back to our office. The collection of these forms determine the amount of funding our program receives. This funding allows us to provide services and cultural opportunities for our students and families. It is not mandatory for all students to utilize our program services however, by filling out an eligibility form, the whole program benefits.
Title VI requires:
1. Student is enrolled in a federally recognized tribe
2. And/or the student’s grandparent or parent is enrolled in a federally recognized tribe.
* Please call if you have any questions. You can find the form on our Native American Education Home Page.
