Schools that receive funding from the Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) under Section 1130 of the Education Amendments of 1978, 25 U.S.C. 2001, are eligible to participate in this program. If an eligible LEA does not apply, an Indian tribe or an Indian organization that makes up at least half of the LEAs' Indian students may apply in lieu of the LEA.
