The Native American Education Program is designed to address the unique cultural, language, and educationally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students, including preschool children.

This program is funded by the Title VI Indian Education Formula Grants funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Indian Education.

How Do I Qualify?

The Native American Education Program is for all students who are Native American or Alaska Native, or have a parent/grandparent who is Native American and are enrolled in a federally recognized tribe. You can support in the District's development of its program and Title VI Program by completing an ED 506 Eligibility Form.

An Ed 506 Form must be completed, signed, and dated by the child’s parent/guardian to certify an Indian student’s eligibility for the program. A separate form is required for each child. If you have previously submitted an eligibility form, you do not need to submit a new form.
