Recognizing the need to assist tribal college and university (TCU) faculty in the process of terminal degree attainment, the American Indian College Fund, with support and funding from American Indian College Fund Board Member Kim Blanchard and the Nyswander-Manson family, established the American Indian College Fund Pre-Dissertation Faculty Grant. The program offers small grants of $3,000-10,000 to TCU faculty members currently enrolled in doctoral programs to support activities that contribute to degree attainment.
Eligible applicants must be a current faculty member at an accredited tribal college that is a full member of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC).

Grant funding must be used to cover expenses associated with degree attainment including, but not limited to: research design, data collection and analysis, purchasing software, periodicals or books, coursework, or conducting necessary travel for completion of research.

A final report must be submitted to the American Indian College Fund along with receipts documenting expenses by the end of the one-year term of the grant.
